PIAA super silicone. Best wipers money can buy.

check pn, but i think these are the ones for our cars based on the stuff i bought last time for maintenance:

28895-JF01A (passenger side)
28895-1EA0A (driver side)

Rain-X and other aftermarket units do not sit right on the windshield. The arms mount on top of the blades, which makes the wipers fully visible at all times.

They rot in three months out here, it's so dry.

theyre the same part number. Theyre also the same manufacturer, mitsuba, but smaller and less sturdy than the OEMs. Maybe Nissan changed the blades in 2011?

Some aftermarket also don't sit flush with the glass at the edges of the blades.

Got these in, can confirm they are the right parts. FYI check the Nissan site before ordering for your VIN.

^Doesn't seem that great... And you don't know what size you actually need, a lot of blades are bigger/smaller.

You have to go OEM on the wipers because other wipers are too tall. If you use the sprayers, they'll spray the arm, not the windshield.

Muldoon · 02-16-2014, 01:40 PM

Not that great?
