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 Sentra use? Small-hook arms; most charts list 26/17, a few list a 16-in passenger blade, either clears fine, but measure the old blade before buying. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch. ## Sources - [2021 Nissan Sentra Owner's Manual (capacities, NS-3, bulbs, schedule, CR2032, tires)](https://www.nissan-techinfo.com/refgh0v/og/sentra/2021-Nissan-Sentra.pdf) - [NHTSA recall 23V-581, tie rod assembly, 2020-2022 Sentra](https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2021/NISSAN/SENTRA/recalls) - [NHTSA recalls, 2024/2025 Sentra (driveshaft 24V-304, 26V-410)](https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2024/NISSAN/SENTRA/recalls) - [AMSOIL lookup, 2020 Sentra 2.0L MR20DD (0W-20, drain plug 22-29 ft-lb)](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2020/nissan-datsun/sentra/2-0l-4-cyl-engine-code-mr20dd-b/) - [KBB / Car and Driver, 2020 Sentra specs (149 hp, 3,047 lb curb weight)](https://www.caranddriver.com/nissan/sentra/specs/2020/nissan_sentra_nissan-sentra_2020) - [Go-Parts, 2020-2025 Sentra rear brakes (260mm discs SV/SR, drums S)](https://www.go-parts.com/garage/brakes-rear-nissan-sentra-2020-2025) - [Nissan parts, 15208-65F0E oil filter](https://parts.nissanusa.com/parts/nissan-oil-filter-1520865f0e) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2021 Sentra EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2021_Nissan_Sentra.shtml) ## Find your exact Sentra - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/2012) More Nissan Sentra guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/tires) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/sentra/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
