Rear Wiper Blade Replacement on a 2004 Nissan Quest

Driving has always been a visceral event that places the driver in a connected state with the vehicle. This synergy between man and machine can manifest itself in the form of a constant awareness of the vehicle's many components. Questions form: How are the tires reacting to the road? How much fuel do I have left? Is the engine working at its best? Unfortunately, the window wiper blades receive little thought until you're stuck in a torrential downpour. While your 2004 Nissan Quest's front wiper blades have the duty of ensuring a clear view of the road ahead, the rear wiper shouldn't be neglected since the road behind is full of surprises.

  • Pivot the rear wiper arm away from the rear window.

  • Grasp the wiper blade frame and pivot it away from the window. Push the wiper blade frame back and toward the wiper arm base until you can remove it from the hooked end of the wiper arm.

  • Unpackage the new wiper blade and pivot the frame's hinged mount outward. Slip the mount into the hooked portion of the wiper arm until it snaps firmly into place. Rotate the wiper blade frame until it is aligned with the wiper arm. Lower the wiper blade into place against the rear window.
