Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Nissan Maxima take?

Wiper blade sizes for the Nissan Maxima vary by generation, ranging from a 22 inch (550mm) driver blade on the earliest A32 to a 26 inch (650mm) driver blade on the A33 and J32 models. Passenger side sizes range from 17 inches (425mm) to 20 inches (500mm) depending on the generation. Owners should check the table above to confirm the correct size for their specific model year.

Does the Nissan Maxima have a rear wiper?

No, the Nissan Maxima does not have a rear wiper blade across any generation. This model is fitted with two front wiper blades only, which can be confirmed in the specifications on the product page.

What wiper connector does the Nissan Maxima use?

The Nissan Maxima uses a J-hook style wiper connector on the front blades across all five generations covered here. This connector type has remained consistent from the 1994 A32 through to the 2013 J32.

Why do Nissan Maxima wiper blade sizes change so much between generations?

The Nissan Maxima underwent several significant redesigns between 1994 and 2013, with each new generation bringing a different windscreen shape and wiper arm length. This is why the driver side blade ranges from 22 inches on the A32 up to 26 inches on the A33 and J32, and owners should always check their specific series code rather than assuming sizes carry over.

How often should I replace Nissan Maxima wiper blades?

Nissan Maxima wiper blades should generally be replaced every 12 months to maintain clear visibility in wet weather. Blades exposed to heavy sun or infrequent use may need replacing sooner if streaking or juddering appears.
