Parts for your 2009 Nissan Navara-Wiper blades

2009 Nissan Navara Wiper Blades

Wiper blades are absolutely fitted to the 2009 Nissan Navara (D40). This is confirmed by the 2009 Navara Owner’s Manual (wiper/washer section) and Nissan’s electronic parts catalogue, and it’s backed by Australian Design Rules and NZTA Warrant of Fitness requirements that call for operational windscreen wipers on road-going vehicles. On this ute, that means a front pair of blades, there’s no factory rear wiper on the tray-back body.

On a Navara that does everything from weekday commuting to weekend towing and bush tracks, wiper blades do more than swipe away rain. They clear road grime, salt spray, red dust and bug splatter so the driver keeps a clean view through the windscreen. Good blades reduce eye strain, prevent smearing at night, and help the washer system do its job without scratching the glass.

For servicing, it’s smart to treat wipers as consumables. In Aussie and Kiwi conditions—UV, heat, coastal air and occasional frosts—expect 6–12 months from quality blades, sometimes less if the vehicle lives outdoors or does big kilometres. During a routine service, a tech should check the sweep pattern, rubber edge condition, arm spring tension, and washer operation, then replace as needed. Many D40 variants commonly take a longer driver-side and shorter passenger-side blade, always confirm the exact fitment against the handbook or the vehicle’s build details.

• Clean the windscreen and blades regularly with mild soapy water to remove grit.
• Avoid running wipers on a dry screen, use the washer first.
• Top up washer fluid with proper additive, not plain water.
• After off-road or beach work, rinse the glass before wiping to prevent scratching.
• Park out of harsh sun where possible to slow rubber perishing.

1. Streaks, smears or missed patches.
2. Chatter, squeaks or juddering at normal speed.
3. Frayed or nicked rubber edges, or blades lifting at highway speed.

When any of the above shows up, it’s time to fit fresh blades. They’re inexpensive, quick to swap, and make a noticeable difference in bad weather.

Does the 2009 Nissan Navara have a rear wiper?

No. As a ute, the D40 Navara has a front windscreen wiper system only. A rear wiper would only appear on an aftermarket canopy window if specifically fitted, not as a factory feature.

What wiper blade sizes fit a 2009 Navara?

Most D40 Navaras use a longer driver’s blade and a shorter passenger’s blade. Many owners find a 24-inch driver and 18-inch passenger setup works, but variants and aftermarket arms can differ. It’s best to verify against the owner’s manual or measure what’s on the vehicle before buying.

How often should the wiper blades be replaced?

Plan on every 6–12 months. Coastal air, high UV and outback dust can shorten that window. If you notice streaking, noise or poor clearing, replace sooner rather than later.
