I saw on Tirerack that the PIAA wipers are compatible. I have used PIAA blades before and I REALLY REALLY like them. Seem to work well and last a long time. Long story short, I had them on my Pathfinder (the regular not the SI-TECH). A "person" was "supposedly" working on it but really wasn't. The car sat for at least 11 months the last time he had it, not including the 6 months for the first repair and 3 months for the lift kit that he had it two other times. It sat out in the sun and freezing cold. When I finally got it back, the blades worked until I finally dropped off at the junkyeard in 2011. I think I put those blades on back in maybe 2004 or 2005.

Thanks to the both of you. My wife and I both drive gen 5 Imps. Hers is a 2017, and mine a 2019. Both are Premium models. We need blades. I checked, there seems to be fitment of PIAA wipers for all models. All good.

 

cant speak for longevity but its cheap and two strips will do the front wipers and the rear one.

FWIW, it was PIAA blades I bought the time I got one that fit and one that didn't.....

 

Thanks, Alex.

 

these are direct fit with no adapter needed

Thanks for the link. If I can't get the PIAA when I am ready to replace, I'll look at these. I have PIAAs for my Legacy waiting. I bought them to replace a torn blade but then I remembered I had the 3 year wear warranty and got new ones at the dealer. They are just sitting in the box after using them for a few days.

 

If you had used [SEARCH] function, you would have found your answer.

BOSCH Envision fits and works well... but costs more than Subaru brand at the dealership.

I you were to visit website for your local autoparts store.... you should find several in-stock wiper-blades which should fit your Impreza.

EDIT: Apparently, the BOSCH Envision which fits our Impreza are exclusive to AutoZone stores..... hence, KEEP THE ADAPTERS which come with them so they can be reused.

Offerings for direct replacement wiper blades have gotten much better over the years...more brands and options now than when these cars were new in 2017.

I appreciate an updated/new thread on any subject here. Keeps the info current and relevant to new owners.

FWIW, my blades are some BOSCH variety. Bought them at the local parts store and they fit perfect. I replace mine every fall. I was leery of ordering online, just in case I got one that fit and one that doesn't like the OP had. I do buy many other things online for convenience, however.

 

I have Bosch Envision blades. I bought them at AutoZone. They fit perfectly and I have had them on the car for just over a year and they still are wiping very cleanly.

 

No rear?

 

I wonder who the part supplier for the wipers are to Subaru - and if they are offered through other auto parts stores.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if it was Trico. They supplied Toyota.
Also Trico offers USA made blades (forgot the name) and I had fantastic results one the Corolla.

edit if you go down to quality awards on the about company part of the site, you will see the Subaru logo.

 

Trico Ultra are the ones that are USA made. Unfortunately they offer none for the Impreza.

 

FWIW, as I'm going on my sixth year with my 2017, I think I've tried every wiper available. I think the Subaru beam wipers work best.

 

OEM

 

Drivers side is the stock housing with the PIAA insert from a Si-Tech rubber. Passenger side is a PIAA Si-Tech with it's adapter. The passenger wiper arm sits slightly higher than the stock wiper.

 

I will go with Bosch Envision 100% of the time. They fit perfectly with no needed for any adjustments. Just use the adapter that's made for the Subaru hook up and it clips right in no issues. I have had the same Bosch Envision blades on the front for just over a year with no signs of wear. Also I also Rain-X or it's equivalent Peaks windshield wiper fluid that's designed to make the water bead up and roll off the glass. This makes wiping so much easier and in turn requires less use of the wipers. Also depending on the outside light conditions I am able to have the wipers off completely and just use the natural air flow to push the water off the glass and it works amazingly well. I highly recommend Rain-X or Peaks washer fluid.

 

Hey, I have a '21 and the stock front blades are starting to seperate.
I was looking in to these blades based on your recommendation and it says they don't fit my car on the bosch website.
from the wording of your post, it sounds like you are using some adapter.
Where can i get one of these?
or am I wrong and Bosch provides one or something?
sorry for the ignorance

 

You know what I just picked up a stock 16" blade and it appears Subaru changed the rubber design. PIAA on the top Stock on the bottom. So yeah maybe the Si blades won't fit these new Subaru Blades. I know my 2017 stock ones the PIAA Si blades rubbers fit.

 

Personally Id toss a vote piaa's direction...
I bought a set on amazon:

https://a.co/d/0iMK7Ok

https://a.co/d/c2iadBW

Installed on Dec 10 2019... With basic cleaning once in a while and rainx on the windshield they are still kicking now April 9 2023 so though a bit pricey Ill be getting them again for sure

 

Do we have a 16" or 15" for the passenger side? Tirerack says 15". Amazon says 16".

 

I know 2021 is 26 and 16.
all others in gen 5 should be the same but just to be sure plug in your year and model into Genuine Subaru Parts & Accessories | Subaru Online Parts and search for "wiper".
the descriptions will tell you the size of the related part numbers (even if you buy other blades, it'll be a good way to be 99% sure).
