| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 &
2014) Nissan Murano SUV in changing the rear wiper blade on the back
windshield window. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Versa, Maxima, Juke, Rogue, Altima, Xterra, Pathfinder, Sentra, Cube, Armada, Leaf, Quest, Frontier, Teana, 370Z, GT-R, Titan, G25, G37, M35, QX56, QX60 and M37 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The rear wiper blade size is 12" (inches) in length. A few compatible replacement 12 inch wiper blades with their part numbers are as follows: Michelin 9512, Trico 12-B, Anco AR-12B, Bosch H306 (3397011432) and Valeo R12D. The tools needed to replace the blade include a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet or a 10mm wrench and a plastic automotive panel pry bar tool. |

 Loosen 10mm Nut |
 10mm Nut Removed |
 Gently Pry Off Wiper Arm |
| The first step is
to gently pull off the plastic cover on the base of the wiper arm. Set the plastic cap aside in a safe place. Loosen the nut that secures the wiper assembly to the rear window mount by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench. Set the 10mm nut aside in a safe place. |

 Plastic Tool Against Glass |
 Wiper Assembly Removed |
 Rotate Old Blade Away |
| Use a plastic
automotive panel removal pry bar tool to gently loosen the wiper assembly
until it can be pulled off the rear windshield. You could also use a flathead screwdriver wrapped in a small towel. Try to avoid applying excessive pressure which could lead to cracked, chipped, scratched or broken glass. Once the wiper assembly has been taken off the back window, rotate the old wiper blade away from the wiper arm. |

 Pop Blade Off Arm |
 Mounting Bar - Center of Blade |
 "C" Shaped Socket |
| Continue rotating
the old wiper blade away from the wiper arm until it can be popped off. I recommend buying the Trico 12-B rear wiper blade since it has excellent reviews on Amazon. |

 Line Up New Blade |
 "C" Socket & Bar |
 Pass Arm Through Opening |
| Pass the wiper arm through the opening in the new wiper with the rubber blade pointing away from the arm. | ||
 Pop Bar In To Socket |
 New Wiper Blade Attached |
 Push On Wiper Assembly |
| Continue rotating
the wiper blade until the mounting bar can be popped in to the "C" shaped
socket on the wiper arm. Push the wiper assembly back on to the window mounting bolt end in the same approximate position as when you removed it. |

 Spin On Nut To Secure |
 Tighten 10mm Clockwise |
 Pop On Plastic Base Cover |
| Spin on the nut in
the clockwise direction by hand a few turns to prevent from having it become
cross threaded. Carefully tighten the 10mm nut by turning it clockwise with the socket and ratcheting wrench until it is snug. Try to avoid over tightening the 10mm nut to prevent from cracking the rear window. Pop on the plastic cover over the base of the wiper arm. For the best wiper performance, I'd recommend thoroughly cleaning the rear windshield and applying a window treatment product such as Rain-X. For more,
