Nissan Rogue Forum

Yeah thats right, I found something I really hate about my Rogue. The front wipers don't clear all the way to the driver's side of the windshield. When the wipers go, they leave a good 3 inch margin along the A pillar. In the rain/snow, this really reduces my visibility when turning corners... so much so, that I almost hit a pedestrian the other day. I'm constantly moving my head back and forth to see around this wiper gap, and the pillar. Its really starting to drive me nuts.

It doesn't border me. However, I find the rearview mirror actually blocking a significant portion of the front view.

I too have noticed that 3" gap on the windshield. I will have to raise the wiper arm a bit to try to eliminate that. I also drive a ram pickup which has a huge A pillar, got to move my head also. Told the wife, because of that it is just like driving the truck.

Well guys I fixed the wiper issue on the wife's rogue. Tried to re-align the arm only to result in the top of the wiper blade touching the A pilar at high speed. I ended up having to bend the tip of the arm about 5 degrees to the left. It works perfectly now but some advice to fellow members: Do not let the wife know what you are about to do to her car or else your screwed and be prepared to spend some time doing this procedure.

Well I am the wife, and it is my car, so I'm gonna try this myself.

I am in the same boat as JCKC. I find that the rear view mirror blocks my sight line for the front windshield. It feels like I need to move the rear view mirror up. Any advice?

You may be sitting too high in the car. I am 6'1" and love to be closer to the steering than most people (my wife is 5'9" and I don't move the seat when we switch cars), and I notice that in some cars.

By sitting lower, that should help a little bit.

The thing I don't understand is why Nissan put a so big rearview mirror in the Rogue with the rear visibility that we have: When looking into it, I see as much of my car as of the outside. I suppose it is a standard part.

BTW, I did the wiper stuff, works great, thanks for the tip.

All I can say is RainX! I had the same problem with both my Frontier and the Titan. As a matter of fact the coverage on the passenger side of the Titan was better then the drivers side. RainX is your friend.

Totally agree with you.
I used it on my previous (sic) 2006 Honda Civic coupe and I don't have to use the wipers at all, except when it was not raining anymore due to the dirt projection of other cars.
Even with the car covered by water, you could see between the water drops and reaching about 60kph (35 mph), there was nothing left on the windshields (front and rear).

It still works on the Rogue but not as efficiently, not same aerodynamic.

Just do it once every 2-3 months (or when it is not performing anymore as you want) and you are good to go. Great product.

RainX. No need for wipers at all.
Lator....
