Dear Patrick,

I love my mechanic, but he charges an arm and a leg to replace my windshield wipers. I am a single mom on a budget, and this seems like a way I can save money. Is it hard to change the blades on my Nissan Frontier without help?

-Anna

Hi Anna,

Good thinking! Buying and replacing them yourself is a great way to shave off added cost to a tune-up bill. Thereâ€™s also more positive news: this process couldnâ€™t be simpler!

First, ease the arm backward so it sticks out from the windshield at roughly a 90-degree angle.

Next, rotate the wiper so that it is parallel with the glass, essentially forming a T.

On the backside of the mechanism, you will discover a release tab. Unsnap it (itâ€™s a very simple metal hinge) to loosen the blade.

Pull it downward, and it should easily come free.

Finally, just repeat the steps in reverse to install the new blade and lock it into place. Be sure to test out the wipers when you are done by spraying fluid and running it a few times to make sure everything is secure.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Seattle: How Important Is It to Insure Your New Nissan SUV?

Hey Patrick,

I just got a sweet 2018 Nissan Murano, but I feel like auto insurance is a waste of money. Whatâ€™s the worst thing that could happen if I am not covered?

Sincerely,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Thanks for reaching out! I hate to be a scold, but people really should invest in a policy. Itâ€™ll pay off in the long run, trust me.

First, itâ€™s the law in America that all drivers be covered. There are endless options, and there is sure to be an agency that fits your budget and needs.

Still not convinced? If you get in an accident without it in Michigan, for example, the penalty could be up to a year in jail. In Delaware the fine for this infraction can be as high as $2,000. Many states will add points to a license, suspend driving privileges, or even impound a car. Thatâ€™s not getting into the all the out-of-pocket headaches if you get sued by another vehicle owner.

Clearly, itâ€™s in everyoneâ€™s best interest to always keep a valid form of insurance. It isnâ€™t worth the risk.

Hope this inspires you to seek coverage. Let me know if there are any other questions.
