The most common blade sizes for the 2010 Nissan Altima are 26 inches on the driver's side and 17 inches on the passenger side.
This article explains the standard sizes, how to verify them for your specific vehicle, and tips for replacement. It notes that some trims, markets, or configurations may differ, and it covers front wipers (not rear, if equipped).
Standard sizes for the 2010 Altima
The following two blade lengths cover the majority of 2010 Altima sedans. If your blade length differs, consult your owner's manual or an OEM parts catalog to confirm the exact fit for your car.
- Driver side: 26 inches
- Passenger side: 17 inches
Using the standard sizes helps ensure proper coverage, clearance, and sweep without blade interference. If your vehicle uses a different configuration (for example, certain trims or regional models), double-check the exact specification before purchasing replacements.
How to verify or customize for your exact car
Even though the standard sizes apply to most 2010 Altimas, you should confirm for your specific vehicle. Use these methods to verify the correct blade lengths:
- Check the owner’s manual or a Nissan OEM parts catalog for your exact trim and market.
- Measure your current blades from tip to tip (excluding mounting hardware) while they’re at rest against the windshield; note the length in inches.
- If in doubt, visit an auto parts store or Nissan dealer with your car’s make, model, year, and trim; they can look up the exact fit for your VIN.
Verifying the exact sizes helps prevent ordering errors and ensures optimal performance and visibility in adverse weather.
Notes on rear wipers and trim differences
Some 2010 Altima variants may include a rear wiper; this guide focuses on the front windshield wipers. If your model has a rear wiper, its size and replacement procedure will be different and should be verified separately in the manual or parts catalog.
Summary
For a typical 2010 Nissan Altima, plan to use 26-inch blades on the driver’s side and 17-inch blades on the passenger side. Always confirm with the owner's manual or a parts catalog for your exact trim and market, and replace wipers in matched pairs to maintain even wiping performance. If you’re unsure, a quick visit to an auto parts retailer with your car’s details can ensure you get the correct fit.
