Guide overview

Before you begin

If your windshield wipers are old, rusty, or simply not doing their job, use this guide to replace the wiper blades (also known as windshield wipers). In this guide, I will demonstrate how to replace windshield wipers on a 2005 Nissan Altima. This guide will list out the steps required to complete the replacement. The wiper blade replacement is necessary when your windshield wipers simply are not doing their job. If they are rusty, dirty, old, or leaving smudges, you have found the guide to help you out. While you are working on this project, be sure to handle the wiper blades carefully. Dropping them on the windshield may cause cracks and other damages to the windshield of the car. Once you are done with the wiper blade replacement, you will have clean, rust-free windshield wipers to effectively clean your windshield.
