Hi everyone. Need to change my wipers and have been searching through the forum for the correct ones to buy. I have seen references to buying Bosch AR26U/AR17U but looking at these the arm fitting seems to be different from mine. I have attached a photo the would appreciate any advise. Thanks.

I assume your 2014 QQ is the first year of the J11, so your wiper arms should end in a U-shape/hook - the Bosch AR26U/AR17U fits them fine (hence the "U" suffix). I went for the AR652S set, which is an AR26U/AR18U combo - the 18" (well, 17.7") passenger wiper works out about half an inch longer each end, improving the wiped area slightly. It's listed for the Renault Espace/Avantime but definitely fits the J11.

If you have a j11 post 2014 quashqai the best option is to buy a 28 inch and a 16 inch wiper. As to the make that is up to you. Last ones I bought where in asda and fitted and worked a treat.

replacr only the rubber insert i dont reccomend alternative or at least driver side arm the arm is offset and the rubber insert is far cheaper. the informatipn for relacement on the j11 is found in the ORIGINAL NISSAN workshop manual WW -77 there are also rubber replacements in London found on the web. i dont reccomend wrong arms that are not offset as nissan have desighned as the wipers dont go near enough the a post regards brianthelian in spain.
