The Right Wiper Blades for your Nissan Juke & How to Fit Them

The Nissan Juke has been an enduringly popular model in the UK since its launch and remains one of the best-selling new cars in the UK, so knowing which wiper blades you need for your model and how to fit them is important.

How to check which wiper blades fit a Nissan Juke

The Nissan Juke small SUV was launched in 2010 and is now in its second generation, though the latest version was subject to a major facelift in 2016. 

An instant hit upon its release, the Juke – with its funky and distinctive styling - has joined the larger Nissan Qashqai in proving a big sales draw for the Japanese firm in the UK

A Hook Fit is the most common type of windscreen wiper adapter, found mostly on older vehicles. It is distinguished by its ‘J’ or ‘U’ hooked shape that slots across and into the wiper blade. When fitting, unhook the old wiper blade to detach it, then slide the new wiper blade over the hook mechanism and pull it back so it locks into place. It will click once it secures.

When Is The Right Time To Change My Wiper Blades?

Wiper blades undergo a lot of stress when they are fixed to your car. As well as being a moving component exposed to the elements, the materials will inevitably wear down gradually when in use as they are making constant contact with the windscreen.

Indeed, wiper blades cope with more than simply wiping away water from your windscreen during rainy conditions – UV rays from the sun, deposits of oil from other cars around you, bugs and unforeseen debris all take their toll on them.

Wiper blades are designed to be durable and sturdy to withstand these challenges but they will ultimately wear down over time and if you don’t replace them, they could be classified as dangerous or illegal –your car won’t pass an MOT if this is the case.

So how do you know when to replace them? When driving, you might notice over time that the rubber blades will clear the windscreen less evenly, leaving some streaks of moisture in places. They may also start to squeak as the rubber encounters friction on the windscreen.

Regardless, it is recommended you change your wiper blades every 12 months to ensure you are getting optimum windscreen wiping performance.

If in doubt, you can inspect them close up and assess the blades for any blemishes, such as chips, tears and unevenness. If this occurs, then the time has come to get new wiper blades.
