What size wiper blades does a 2013–2018 Nissan Altima take?

28 inches on the driver's side and 16 inches on the passenger's side.

Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2013–2018 Nissan Altima?

Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

What wiper connector does a 2013–2018 Nissan Altima use?

J-hook connector; sizes unchanged through the 2016 facelift. A few charts list a 17-in passenger blade, 16-in is the standard fitment.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
