Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / June 20062000 I30 wipers
I have a 2000 I30 with about 73K miles on it. Recently, my driver side wiper (the bigger one) started dragging when it rains The passanger side one works perfeclty all the time. I have the original Nissan wiper (as I had big problems with other ones) and just changed the rubber refill. But both old rubber and new one keep dragging. When the glass is dry, there is no dragging. When I spray some washer fluid, no dragging again. However, when it rains, the driver side wiper starts dragging when going up - it almost looks like that there is some thing on the windshield that prevents the wiper from wiping smoothly. If I spray some washer fluid, the dragging disappears for a short time but then comes backs. Again, once the rain is over, it disappears. I cleaned the windshield and wiper blade several times with Windex and other glass cleaners. I checked that the wiper arm is attached tightly and it is. What else can I do/check? Could it be the wiper motor? I understand how you feel about using original Nissan refills. They are expensive but they do the job. However... I discovered, at about 75000 miles, that I could replace the entire blade with the $3.84 unit by Anco from Walmart and it, too, works perfectly. Here in Texas, I have to replace them about every 4 months because of the heat. Even though my drivers side original WAS 26", I replaced it with a 24" Anco. It works GREAT!! So...I use 24" drivers and 17" passenger. I would imagine that if your new replacement is still dragging that the blade is slightly twisted. Try the Anco. For $3.84, if you hate it, you can throw it away. BTW, I had two 2000 Nissan Maximas and did the same treatment on both. Never had a problem. Now, I only have mine with 115,000 miles and the wife got a new Toyota Solara Convertible. Chuck in Dallas >I have a 2000 I30 with about 73K miles on it.

Clearly, I stand corrected... ;) Go to Wal-Mart and replace with silicone blades, they are great. .

For me anyway, they seem to last a lot longer and they never, ever squeak or skip. Yeah, the 2000 Maxima had 26" driver and 17" passenger. I thought it was ridiculous but...what the heck. >> I discovered, at about 75000 miles, that I could replace the entire >> blade with the $3.84 unit by Anco from Walmart and it, too, works [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Nirav > Yeah, the 2000 Maxima had 26" driver and 17" passenger.
