Parts for your 2019 Subaru Impreza-Wiper blades

2019 Subaru Impreza wiper blades — fitment, purpose and easy upkeep

Yes, wiper blades are absolutely used on the 2019 Subaru Impreza. Subaru’s own technical documentation — including the 2019 Impreza Owner’s Manual (Windscreen Wiper and Washer section) and dealer service information — specifies front wiper maintenance, operation and replacement. The model is factory‑equipped with two front blades, and hatchback variants also carry a rear wiper. Typical fitment for Australia and New Zealand is: driver’s side 650 mm (26 in), passenger side 400 mm (16 in). Hatch models add a 300 mm (12 in) rear blade, while sedans do not have a rear wiper. Those sizes and service intervals are referenced across Subaru owner literature and service schedules for the 2019 Impreza.

On this Impreza, the wiper blades keep the windscreen clear of rain, spray, bugs and road grime so the driver can see properly and the Eyesight cameras (where fitted) have an unobstructed view. That’s especially important in Aussie downpours, coastal salt spray, and the four-seasons-in-a-day conditions many Kiwis cop. Good blades reduce glare at night, stop streaking that can mask hazards, and protect the glass by sweeping debris away rather than dragging it across the surface.

They’re consumable items, so plan on replacing them every 6–12 months, or sooner if they chatter, smear, squeak, or leave unwiped patches. UV, heat, frost, and car-wash chemicals harden the rubber faster. Keep them happy by washing the windscreen regularly, wiping the blade edge with a damp microfibre cloth, and using proper screenwash in the reservoir (not straight tap water). Don’t run the wipers on a dry screen and avoid using them as an ice scraper. For hatchbacks, give the rear blade the same love — it quietly does a lot of work in wet, gritty conditions.

• Signs it’s time: streaks, judder, noisy passes, torn edges, or bent frames.
• Choose quality beam or hybrid blades for even pressure and less wind lift.
• Match the correct lengths (650 mm/400 mm front, 300 mm rear on hatch) and arm fitting per the 2019 Impreza listing.
• After fitting, lower the arms gently and test with washer fluid to confirm smooth, quiet operation.

Whether DIY or during scheduled servicing, fresh wiper blades are a quick, low-cost upgrade that pays off every time the weather turns.

What size wiper blades fit a 2019 Subaru Impreza?

For ANZ-market cars, the front pair are typically 650 mm (26 in) on the driver’s side and 400 mm (16 in) on the passenger side. Hatchbacks add a 300 mm (12 in) rear blade, while sedans don’t have a rear wiper. Always check the parts guide against the VIN or trim to confirm lengths and the correct fitting style before buying.

How often should the 2019 Impreza’s wiper blades be replaced?

Every 6–12 months is a good rule of thumb, with more frequent changes if the car lives in strong sun, salt air, or sees lots of motorway kilometres. Replace sooner if you notice streaking, judder, squeaks, or cracks in the rubber — they’re all signs the blade edge has hardened or deformed.

How do you change the wiper blades on a 2019 Subaru Impreza?

Lift the wiper arm off the glass, press the release tab on the old blade and slide it off the arm. Align the new blade with the arm fitting, click it securely into place, then lower the arm gently to the windscreen. Repeat for the other side (and the rear on hatchbacks). Finish by running the washers to confirm clean, quiet sweeps.
