The typical front wipers for most Nissan Altima sedans are 26 inches on the driver side and 17 inches on the passenger side; if your Altima has a rear wiper, it's typically about 11 inches.
Sizes vary by model year and trim. Broadly, older Altimas (2007–2012) use 24/18, while 2013–present models use 26/17. Always verify for your exact year and trim via the owner's manual or an online parts fit guide.
Front wiper sizes by Altima generation
Below are the common factory blade lengths used on Altima sedans by generation. Use this as a starting point, but confirm with your specific year/trim before buying.
- 2007–2012: Driver 24 inches; Passenger 18 inches

These front sizes cover the vast majority of Altima sedans on the road today. Variations can occur for certain trims or aftermarket replacements, so always double-check with a reliable fit guide or the owner's manual.
Rear wiper considerations
If your Altima is equipped with a rear wiper, the blade is commonly around 11 inches; some trims or model years may differ, and some Altimas omit a rear wiper entirely.
- Rear wiper blade length: typically about 11 inches (verify for your year and trim)
Always verify with a parts guide or the owner’s manual, especially when replacing a rear blade or shopping for aftermarket options. If your model does not have a rear wiper, this section won’t apply.
How to confirm the exact size and replace
Check the owner's manual and current blades
Refer to the manual or inspect the existing blades for stamped size information. Many blades display their length on the blade itself or packaging.
Use an online fit guide
Enter your Altima’s year, model, and drivetrain into a reputable parts retailer’s fit guide to ensure you purchase the correct blades. This helps prevent buying the wrong size due to trim differences.
Measuring approach if in doubt
To verify manually, remove a blade and measure from tip to base along the blade’s edge. If you notice differences between the left and right front blades, measure both sides, as some older Altima models use different lengths on each side.
Summary
For the majority of Nissan Altima models, plan on front blades sized 26 inches on the driver side and 17 inches on the passenger side, with an 11-inch rear blade if your vehicle has one. Sizes vary by generation and trim, so always confirm with your year, the owner's manual, or a trusted fit guide before buying. Regular replacement helps maintain visibility in rain and snow.
