Steps
Park on level ground, switch the engine off and let the windshield cool. Pull the wiper arms up only after the ignition is off so they stay in the service position.
Lay a folded towel on the glass under each arm. If a bare metal arm snaps down onto the windshield, it can crack the glass.
Lift the driver side arm away from the glass until it stands up on its own. Work on one side at a time so you always have a reference.
Find the small release tab where the blade meets the arm. Press or pinch that tab and slide the blade down and off the hook.
Some QX60 blades use a push-button connector instead. Press the button on the underside and pull the blade straight off the arm.
Compare the old blade with the new one. Match the length and make sure the connector type is the same before you fit anything.
Slide the new blade onto the arm until the tab or button clicks into place. Tug it gently to confirm it is locked on.
Lower the arm slowly back onto the glass by hand. Never let it drop from the raised position.
Repeat the same steps on the passenger side, then run the wipers on low speed and check for streaks or a loose blade.
Tips and common mistakes
Replace both front blades at the same time, even if only one is streaking.
Wipe the glass with glass cleaner first so you can see whether the new blade actually clears the screen.
If the new blade chatters, the arm may be bent or the connector not fully seated.
Buy blades by the length listed in your owner's manual rather than guessing at the parts counter.
Questions
How often should I replace wiper blades on a QX60?
Every six to twelve months is typical, or sooner if you live somewhere hot and sunny. Replace them as soon as they streak, squeak or leave gaps.
What size wiper blades does a 2017 Infiniti QX60 take?
The two front blades are different lengths, with a long one on the driver side and a shorter one on the passenger side. Check your owner's manual or the parts listing for the exact figures before buying.
Do I need any tools?
No. The blades clip on and off by hand, so you only need the new blades and a cloth to protect the glass.
