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 Nissan Altima use? Sizes changed from the previous generation's 28/16, small hook (9x3) connector. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch. ## Sources - [Nissan USA Newsroom, 2019 Altima specifications (oil capacities, weights, fuel tank)](https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/release-215892633e2d484998bf260cfe01349c-2019-nissan-altima-specifications) - [AMSOIL product lookup, 2019 Altima 2.5L PR25DD (0W-20, 5.4 qt, drain plug 22-29 ft-lbs)](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2019/nissan-datsun/altima/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-pr25dd-d/) - [NHTSA recall 25V-437, VC-Turbo engine bearings](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCLRPT-25V437-0139.pdf) - [NHTSA recalls by vehicle, 2019 Nissan Altima (18V-922, 19V-235, 19V-316, 19V-654, 23V-628)](https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?make=nissan&model=altima&modelYear=2019) - [Nissan parts, 16546-6CA0A engine air filter fitment (2019-2025 Altima)](https://nissan.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/nissan-air-filter-165466ca0a) - [Nissan parts, 22401-6LD1C spark plug (2019-2025)](https://parts.nissanusa.com/parts/nissan-spark-plug-224016ld1c) - [TirePressure.org, 2019 Nissan Altima placard pressures](https://tirepressure.org/nissan/altima/2019) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2019 Nissan Altima EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2019_Nissan_Altima.shtml) - [Cars.com, Nissan drops VC-Turbo from 2025 Altima](https://www.cars.com/articles/nissan-axes-turbocharged-engine-from-2025-altima-adds-sv-special-edition-488081/) - [Goodyear tire lookup, 2019 Altima OE sizes by trim](https://www.goodyear.com/en-us/vehicles/Nissan/Altima/2019) ## Find your exact Altima - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/2012) More Nissan Altima guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/tires) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/altima/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
