How to Replace Wiper Blades
Replacing wiper blades on the Nissan Leaf is straightforward and takes under 5 minutes:
Step 1: Lift the wiper arm away from the windscreen until it locks in the upright position. Place a cloth on the glass as protection.
Step 2: Press the Hook release tab on the wiper connector and slide the old blade off the arm.
Step 3: Slide the new blade onto the arm until you hear it click securely into place.
Step 4: Gently lower the arm back to the windscreen. Repeat for the other side.
When to Replace Your Wipers
Replace your Nissan Leaf wiper blades when you notice streaking, smearing, squeaking, or juddering. As a general rule, replace them every 12 months — UK weather conditions (frequent rain, frost, and sun exposure) degrade rubber faster than many drivers expect.
