Should I get the Nissan wiper refills or just use aftermarket (Bosch, Trico, etc)? I haven't needed a new set until now. Anyone have a particular preference? I seem to recall someone mentioning that one of the blades is a really odd size (on a 1/2" increment). TIA.

Go with any name brand aftermarket refill. The ones from the dealer are just too much $$, and dont offer any real advantage over aftermarket.

geez

They're wipers.... just go to autozone... get bosch... ALSO...
look & see the highest point on the swipe of the wiper... i.e.... as high as it reaches at the top of the window... and PLUS size the wiper accordingly....
remember when u if u want an inch on the top... you have to get a 2" bigger wiper cuz its 1" in each direction.
I Plus sized my TBirds from 21" to 24... nothing hits... but I just have a much bigger wiping area

I find the OEM blades do the best job, so I replace the rubber inserts only; you can get themat your local Wal-mart. It's a red & gray pkg, I forget the brand, but comes in sizes 'A', 'B', 'C' . All Nissans are 'B'. the rubber inserts are 24 inches long; you re-use the metal strip supports from your original blades. insert the metal strips, trim, put back in wiper. Put clip on end. 5 bucks. Be sure to trim the right end, so be sure to pay attention.
