The typical front windshield wipers for a 2012 Nissan Frontier are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger’s side, with an 11-inch blade for the rear window if your model has a rear wiper. Always verify against your owner’s manual or the blade you currently have, as trim or aftermarket parts can vary.
Front windshield wipers
Below are the standard front blade sizes for the 2012 Frontier and how to identify the correct pairing for your vehicle.
- Driver’s side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 17 inches
In short, the common front-wiper pairing for many 2012 Frontier models is 26" on the driver’s side and 17" on the passenger’s side. If your truck uses different lengths, double-check the current blades or the parts catalog for your exact trim configuration.
How to verify the size
To confirm the correct sizes, measure the length of the blades, compare them with the packaging on new replacements, or consult the owner’s manual. When in doubt, bring an old blade to an auto parts store—the staff can confirm the exact lengths for your vehicle’s year and trim.
Rear window wiper
Not every 2012 Frontier configuration includes a rear window wiper. If your truck does have one, the usual blade size is 11 inches. Some configurations may differ, so verify before purchasing a replacement blade.
- Rear blade (if equipped): 11 inches
In most cases, a rear wiper blade that is 11 inches will fit a 2012 Frontier with a rear wiper. If you have a different rear wiper size, measure the existing blade or check the parts catalog for your specific cab and trim.
Special cases: cab style and aftermarket parts
Cab style (King Cab vs. Crew Cab) and regional trims can affect front and rear wiper configurations. If you’re unsure, rely on measurements from the current blades, check the vehicle’s manual, or consult a parts professional to avoid buying the wrong sizes.
Summary
For a 2012 Nissan Frontier, expect front wipers sized 26 inches (driver’s side) and 17 inches (passenger’s side). If your Frontier has a rear wiper, its blade is typically 11 inches. Always verify with the owner’s manual or by measuring the existing blades to ensure a precise fit, especially if you have a non-standard trim or aftermarket replacements.
