Parts for your 2007 Subaru Impreza-Wiper blades

2007 Subaru Impreza wiper blades

Wiper blades are absolutely relevant and factory-fitted on the 2007 Subaru Impreza. This is confirmed by the 2007 Subaru Impreza Owner’s Manual and the Subaru Workshop Manual, both of which include windscreen wiper operation and blade replacement procedures. Passenger vehicles like the Impreza are also required to have functional windscreen wipers under widely adopted safety standards (for example, FMVSS No. 104 in North America) and local compliance frameworks in Australia and New Zealand. So yes—this vehicle uses wiper blades by design.

On a 2007 Subaru Impreza, the wiper blades do the everyday hard work: clearing rain, road grime, coastal salt spray, and bug splatter so the driver can see clearly. Hatch and wagon variants typically also run a rear wiper to keep the back glass clean in wet or dusty conditions. Over time, the rubber hardens from UV and heat, and performance drops—first as light streaking, then as noisy, chattery movement that leaves smears.

For a tidy view and safer driving, it’s smart to treat wiper blades as a regular service item. A good rule of thumb is replacement every 6–12 months, or sooner if there’s streaking, squeaking, splitting rubber, or flat spots. Because Australian and New Zealand climates can be harsh on rubber—think blazing sun, chilly alpine mornings, and salty coastal air—checking blades at each service interval is a solid habit.

When replacing, match the correct lengths and fitting style stated in the owner’s manual or parts catalogue. Most 2007 Impreza models use a common hook-style arm for the fronts, while the rear (on hatch/wagon) may differ. You can fit full assemblies or quality refills if your existing frames are in good nick.

• Clean the windscreen and blades regularly with proper glass cleaner (not petrol or harsh solvents).
• Top up washer fluid with a suitable additive to help cut film and bugs.
• Check spray nozzles and wiper arm tension so the blade sits evenly.
• Never flick the wipers on a dry, dusty screen—wet it first to avoid scratching.
• When lifting arms, lower them gently, don’t let them snap onto the glass.

Look after the blades and they’ll return the favour with quiet, streak-free wiping—spot on for those sudden downpours and early-morning commutes.

What size wiper blades does a 2007 Subaru Impreza use?

Sizes can vary by body style and market, and the rear blade is fitted only to hatch/wagon variants. The safest approach is to match the lengths and fitting style listed in the 2007 Subaru Impreza Owner’s Manual or a trusted parts catalogue. If in doubt, measure the existing blades and confirm the arm connection before buying.

How often should the wiper blades be replaced?

Plan on every 6–12 months in local conditions, or sooner if you notice streaking, squeaks, judder, or cracking. High UV, coastal salt, and frequent use all shorten blade life. A quick check at each service keeps vision sharp and the windscreen protected.

Does the 2007 Subaru Impreza have a rear wiper?

Hatch and wagon models typically have a rear wiper for the back glass. Sedan variants generally do not. If your Impreza has a rear wiper, replace it with the correct length and fitting type noted in the owner’s manual.
