Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Nissan Pathfinder take?

Sizes vary by generation. The R50 (1995-2005) uses 20 inch blades on both sides, the R51 (2005-2013) uses a 24 inch driver blade with a 19 inch passenger blade, the R52 (2013-2020) uses a 26 inch driver blade with a 17 inch passenger blade, and the R53 (2021-2024) uses a 24 inch driver blade with a 19 inch passenger blade. Check the table above for the exact fitment for your model year.

Does the Nissan Pathfinder have a rear wiper?

Yes, on most generations. The R50, R51 and R52 Pathfinder are all fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard, and the rear blade is 12 inches (300mm) across all three generations, sold separately from the front pair. The current R53 generation is not fitted with a rear wiper.

What wiper connector does the Nissan Pathfinder use?

The R50, R51 and R52 generations all use a standard J-Hook front wiper connector. The current R53 generation moved to a slim push button connector instead, so owners should confirm which generation they have before ordering.

Why did the Nissan Pathfinder switch to a different wiper connector?

The R53 Pathfinder, released for the 2021 model year, introduced a slim push button wiper arm as part of a broader redesign of the front end and wiper mechanism. This is a different connector to the J-Hook fitment used on every Pathfinder generation before it, so R53 owners need a specific slim push button blade rather than the J-Hook style used on earlier models.

How often should I replace Nissan Pathfinder wiper blades?

Nissan Pathfinder wiper blades should generally be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if streaking, skipping or noise appears. Owners of the R50 through R52 should replace the rear blade at the same time as the front pair for consistent visibility.
