Known issues on the 1982 Sentra. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the windshield wiper and washer system: incorrect wiper arm height above the pivot lets the wiper blade extend too far and catch on the radio antenna bracket, which can damage the connection between the wiper arm and its pivot. Owners have filed 1 complaint for the year. The factory diagnostic and adjustment procedure for the wiper linkage is here.

Whether you're correcting wiper arm height or working through routine service, it keeps you on the exact specification Nissan set for your 1982 Sentra.
