Overview
The windshield wiper blade-also called a windscreen wiper, wiper rubber, or simply wiper-keeps the glass clear so you can see the road. For every Nissan Rogue, the right blade size, clean install, and regular care all matter.
Fitment Guide
Tip: Measure the old blade before buying. A blade that is too long can hit the edge of the windshield and jam.
Blade Types
Installation
Nissan's owner's manual also reminds drivers not to run the wipers on a dry or icy windshield to avoid motor overload (2021 Rogue manual).

Safety & Recalls
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports show several recent recalls for faulty wiper motors or arms that could fail in heavy snow, leading to reduced visibility and crash risk (example recall notice PDF). Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls if your wipers behave erratically.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Quick Fix |
| Smearing film | Dirty windshield or worn rubber | Clean glass and blade; replace if 6+ months old |
| Skipping or chattering | Bent wiper arm or old blade | Gently bend arm back; install new blade |
| One speed only | Faulty switch or relay | Inspect fuse box; seek technician if fuse is intact |
| Dead wipers | Frozen blades or bad motor | Warm windshield, then test; replace motor if silent |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size wiper blades does a 2025 Nissan Rogue use?
A: 26-inch driver, 17-inch passenger, and 12-inch rear blades fit 2021-2025 Rogues, including the 2025 model. (amazon.com)
Q: How often should I change my Rogue's wiper blades?
A: About every six to twelve months, or at the first sign of streaks or noise. (aaa.com)
Q: Can I use longer blades for extra coverage?
A: No. Oversize blades can hit the frame and damage the motor. Stick to the listed sizes. (autozone.com)
Q: Are silicone blades worth the extra cost?
A: Many drivers like their longer life and resistance to heat and cold, though they may leave a light water-repellent sheen. (tricoproducts.com)
Q: What's the difference between beam and conventional wipers?
A: Beam blades have a single curved spine that hugs the glass for even pressure, while conventional blades rely on multiple metal brackets. Beam types usually perform better in heavy rain and snow. (tricoproducts.com)
Q: Why do my wipers squeak even though they are new?
A: Check that the windshield is clean and that the blade is seated flat. Wax, tree sap, or uneven glass can cause noise. (caranddriver.com)
Q: Can I change Rogue wiper blades myself?
A: Yes. It takes about five minutes and no tools-just lift the arm, press the release tab, and slide the new blade on.
Q: Do I need special winter wipers?
A: If you drive in snow or ice often, winter blades with a rubber boot help keep ice out of the frame and maintain clear vision. (popularmechanics.com)
Q: Does using my wipers automatically turn on my headlights?
A: Some newer vehicles have that feature, but it is not standard on every Rogue. Always switch your lights on manually when wipers are running, as required in many states. (nhtsa.gov)
Q: My wipers stop mid-sweep in heavy snow. Is that normal?
A: The motor may pause to protect itself. Turn the wipers off, clear the snow by hand, then restart after a minute. (nissanusa.com)
With the right-size windshield wiper blades, proper care, and timely replacement, your Nissan Rogue will give you a clear view in every season.
