Front wipers on most Nissan Xterra models are typically 26 inches on the driver side and 17 inches on the passenger side. Always verify by checking the owner's manual, the blade packaging, or measuring the blades yourself.
Typical front blade sizes for Nissan Xterra
The following sizes cover most Xterra generations from 2000 to 2011. If you have a special trim, aftermarket replacement, or a different market version, sizes may vary slightly.
- 2000–2004 Xterra: 26 inches (driver) and 17 inches (passenger)
- 2005–2011 Xterra: 26 inches (driver) and 17 inches (passenger)
These sizes correspond to common aftermarket blade pairs labeled as 26"/17". Always confirm by measuring the blade or checking the packaging to avoid ordering the wrong size.
How to confirm the right size for your Xterra
Before buying replacement blades, use these steps to confirm the exact lengths for your vehicle.
- Check the label on your current blades for the length, or check the owner's manual for the recommended sizes.
- If the current blades are not legible, measure the blades from end to end along the blade edge.
- Note that the driver-side blade is typically longer than the passenger-side blade in most Xterra models.
- Purchase a replacement set in the 26" / 17" configuration, or verify the exact part number with a parts retailer (many retailers list Xterra 26"/17" blades as a match).
- Install or have installed by a professional if you’re unsure about the fit.
When in doubt, consult your local Nissan dealer or trusted auto parts retailer with your year, make, model, and trim to ensure you get the correct sizes.
Rear window wipers (if applicable)
Some Xterra models include a rear window wiper. If your vehicle has one, the blade length is typically around 11 inches, but you should verify since revisions exist across years and markets.
- Check the rear blade length printed on the blade or packaging.
- Measure from the mounting point to the far end of the blade if needed.
Rear wiper sizing can vary; always confirm with your manual or retailer before purchase.
Summary
For most Nissan Xterra models built between 2000 and 2011, replace the front windshield wipers with a 26-inch driver-side blade and a 17-inch passenger-side blade. Always verify against your manual or current blades, as aftermarket variations or model-year changes can occur. If your Xterra has a rear wiper, expect around an 11-inch blade, and confirm before buying.
