WIPER AND WASHER SWITCH

This windshield wiper switch has two speeds: the first is for low speed and the second is for high speed. The wiper switch also controls the windshield washer. To operate the washer, turn clockwise and hold the knob for a moment, or until there is enough fluid on the glass to wash off the dirt. Do not operate the washer more than thirty seconds continuously and/or with no solution, to prevent the washer from damage.

Wiper Blades

The blade is the metal part that holds the rubber inserts (refills). These two parts combined are called the blade assembly

Album 11490

Datsun 1200 uses 16" (405mm) wiper blades. The original blade was a stainless steel design marked "56L" on the bottom and "AE" on top. This blade takes 5/16" wide refills (9mm).

NOTE: Your 1200 may have had the original blades replaced at some point. Aftermarket blades may take a different type of rubber insert.

To separate blade from arm, insert knife as shown to lift up tab. Then pull the blade off the arm.

Refills

For stock wiper arms, the refills are 16" long x 5/16" "Universal" style.

Album 28729

Although many stores recommend a new blade assembly, upon request they may sell you a much more inexpensive refill. It takes another minute to feed the insert into the blade, but you can save a lot of money. Because the original Datsun 1200 blades are quality stainless steel, they still look good and operate fine. Aftermarket blades are plastic or cheap stamped steel that rust in a few years.

NOTE: over the years many 1200 blades have been replaced with quick-replacment blades. If so, the original style refills won't fit.

NOTE: If you have trouble sourcing 5/16 inch x 16" wiper inserts, you can replace the entire metal blade with a different type (see #Aftermarket Blades). The only downside is the extra cost, plus the style (looks) will be different. Replacing the inserts is less expensive e.g. $5 for inserts, $15 for blades.

* NAPA 762-3164ᴳ Package says "Standard" type * TRICO 44-160ᴳ
