Parts for your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer-Wiper blades

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Wiper Blades

Yes, wiper blades are absolutely relevant for the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer. Technical sources including the Mitsubishi Motors 2009 Lancer Owner’s Manual and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue specify a two-blade front windscreen wiper system on all variants, with an additional rear wiper blade on Sportback (hatch) models. Sedans do not have a rear wiper. So if it’s a 2009 Lancer, it’s running wiper blades—and they’re a core safety item.

Wiper blades keep the windscreen clear of rain, road grime, bugs, and salt spray, so the driver can see properly in all conditions. On Aussie and Kiwi roads, blades cop a hammering from UV, heat, coastal air, and the odd frosty morning. That combo hardens rubber and leads to streaking or squeaking, which is the cue they’re due for replacement.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to inspect and replace the Lancer’s wiper blades every 6–12 months, or sooner if there’s smearing, chattering, or missed patches. A quick clean now and then helps: wipe the rubber with a damp microfibre cloth and a bit of car-wash solution or isopropyl alcohol to lift road film. Don’t use petrol or solvent-heavy cleaners—they’ll damage the rubber.

For fitment, most 2009 Lancers take a common hook-style arm (often called J-hook). Typical sizes are around 600 mm (24 in) for the driver’s side and 475 mm (19 in) for the passenger’s side, Sportback rear is commonly near 300 mm (12 in). Always double-check against the owner’s manual or measure what’s on the car, as trim and market can vary. Beam-style blades give a consistent wipe and handle wind lift better than older framed types, so they’re a popular upgrade.

• Check blades monthly, replace at the first sign of streaks or noise.
• Top up washer fluid with a proper additive, avoid plain water in cold regions.
• Lift blades gently when washing the car, don’t snap them back onto the glass.

Effective wipers are a roadworthy/WOF essential in AU/NZ, and a quick swap can transform wet-weather visibility. For the 2009 Lancer, keeping blades fresh is cheap insurance for safer, more relaxed driving.

Popular questions about 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer wiper blades

What size wiper blades fit a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer?
Most 2009 Lancer sedans and hatches use about 600 mm (24 in) on the driver’s side and 475 mm (19 in) on the passenger’s side. Sportback models typically run a rear blade around 300 mm (12 in). Always confirm with the owner’s manual or measure the existing blades to be sure.

How often should the wiper blades be replaced?
In Australian and New Zealand conditions, plan on every 6–12 months. Strong UV and coastal air shorten rubber life, so if you see streaks, hear chatter, or the blade edges feel hard or cracked, replace them sooner.

Does the 2009 Lancer sedan have a rear wiper?
No, the sedan doesn’t have a rear wiper. The Sportback (hatch) does, and it uses a smaller, dedicated rear blade. If you drive a Sportback, don’t forget to check and replace the rear blade along with the fronts.
