Front wipers for a 2017 Nissan Sentra are typically 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side, and the sedan usually does not have a rear wiper. Sizes can vary by trim or regional market, so verify with the owner’s manual or a parts retailer before purchasing.
This article explains the standard blade sizes for the 2017 Sentra, notes when a rear wiper is present or not, and provides guidance on how to confirm the exact fit for your vehicle.
Front wiper sizes for the 2017 Sentra
The following sizes are the most commonly used for U.S.-spec 2017 Sentra sedans.
- Driver’s side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger side blade: 17 inches
When purchasing blades, also check connector type (hook, pin, or bayonet) to ensure compatibility with your wiper arms.
Rear wiper considerations
The 2017 Sentra sedan does not include a rear wiper in most configurations. If you are driving a hatchback variant or a market where a rear wiper is installed, rear blade sizes commonly range around 10–11 inches, but you should confirm on your specific vehicle.
How to confirm the right size for your vehicle
To be certain of the exact fit, use these steps:
- Check the length marked on the existing blade or its packaging.
- If you can’t read the mark, measure the blade end-to-end with a tape measure.
- Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual or Nissan’s official parts site for the recommended sizes.
- Use a reputable retailer’s compatibility tool by entering year, make, model, and trim if needed.
Using the correct blade sizes ensures proper fit, complete windshield coverage, and minimizes streaks during use.
Replacement options and tips
Blades come in several types and connector styles. Consider these quick tips when shopping:
- Blade types: conventional, beam, and hybrid blades offer different performance characteristics.
- Connector types: verify whether your Sentra uses hook-type or bayonet/pin connectors.
Choose blades that match the correct length and connector to ensure smooth operation and clear visibility.
