Parts for your 2017 Mitsubishi Asx-Wiper refills

2017 Mitsubishi ASX Wiper Refills

Based on Mitsubishi technical literature — including the 2017 Mitsubishi ASX (CF series) Owner’s Manual maintenance guidance for windscreen wiper blades and the Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts catalogue listings for “wiper blade rubber” — the ASX is designed to accept refill inserts in the factory blade frames (front and rear). That means wiper refills are relevant for this model and are commonly replaced during routine servicing.

Wiper refills are simply the rubber inserts that make contact with the glass. On the 2017 ASX, they slide into the original blade frame, restoring clear, chatter-free wiping without binning the whole assembly. Keeping the genuine or quality blade frame helps maintain the correct aero profile and pressure across the screen, while refills keep costs down and reduce waste.

For Aussie and Kiwi conditions — hot sun, coastal salt, and the odd dusty back road — rubber ages faster. Most owners will see the best results replacing refills every 6–12 months, or at the first signs of trouble. Tell-tales include streaking after each pass, judder over the sweep, squeaks, or smearing that worsens in light rain. If the edges look nicked, shiny, or the rubber feels hard, it’s time.

• Clean the screen and blades regularly with proper washer fluid, avoid silicone dressings on the rubber.
• Lift the arm gently and never let it snap back onto the glass.
• When refitting, match the rubber profile and stopper orientation to the original blade.
• If the blade frame is bent, corroded, or loose at the hinge, replace the whole blade assembly.

The ASX accepts refills on the factory-fit blade style, some aftermarket “beam” blades aren’t refillable, so pick inserts to suit the original frames or opt for complete replacement blades when needed. Front driver and passenger lengths differ (driver side longer), and the rear uses a shorter, model-specific profile. Sizes vary by market and trim, so measure the existing blades or confirm by VIN with a trusted parts source.

Popular questions about 2017 Mitsubishi ASX wiper refills

What sizes do the 2017 ASX wiper refills use?
Typically, the driver’s side is longer than the passenger’s, and the rear is shorter again. A common setup is around 650 mm (driver), 400 mm (passenger), and ~300 mm (rear), but lengths and rubber profiles can vary by market and blade type. Best bet is to measure what’s on the car or confirm by VIN.

How often should the refills be replaced?
In Australia and New Zealand, every 6–12 months is a good rhythm. Heat, UV, and coastal air can age rubber quickly. Replace sooner if there’s streaking, squeal, or the edges look chipped or shiny.

Can the ASX use full replacement blades instead of refills?
Yes. The ASX works with complete replacement blades if you prefer a quick swap. However, the OEM-style frames are designed to accept refills, which is cost-effective and keeps the original aero design. If the frame is damaged or you’re upgrading to a beam blade, go for full replacements.
