Are you sure its not just the blades rubbing on the windshield glass? you probably just need new blades/rubber inserts.

Sounds like the bearing in the wiper arm spindle is starting to bind. You can buy the spindle for each wiper arm at the Nissan dealer. I think they are around $30-40. You'll need to take the plastic cowl off to replace any of the parts in the wiper mechanism. It's not a particularly difficult job.

Try lubricating the hinges with wd-40 etc - I had this problem a while ago and this worked. You have to lubricate the conneting rod that's below the air vents as well but's it kind of a pain to get to.
