2020 Subaru Impreza wiperrefills — fitted from factory and worth keeping fresh
Based on Subaru technical material — specifically the 2020 Impreza Owner’s Manual (Maintenance and service: Windscreen wiper blades – Replacing the rubber) and the Subaru Genuine Parts catalogue for MY17–MY21 Impreza — this model uses beam-style wiper blades designed to accept replaceable rubber inserts, commonly called wiperrefills. That means wiperrefills are absolutely relevant and used on the 2020 Subaru Impreza, including refills for the front blades and a rear refill on hatch models.
On this Impreza, wiperrefills do the heavy lifting of clearing road grime, salt spray and sudden downpours typical across Australia and New Zealand. Because the blade frames are durable, swapping the rubber insert restores sharp wiping without binning the whole assembly. It’s cost-effective, kinder to the environment, and keeps the windscreen clear for safer night driving and wet-weather braking.
As part of routine servicing of your 2020subaruimpreza wiperrefills, aim to inspect them every few months and replace roughly every 6–12 months, sooner in high-UV or coastal conditions. If there’s streaking, chatter, missed patches, or frayed edges, it’s time.
- Typical fitment: beam-style front blades that accept refills, hatchbacks add a rear refill. Passenger-side front size varies by supplier, so always confirm by VIN or owner’s handbook.
- What you’ll need: correct-profile wiperrefills, a clean cloth, mild glass cleaner.
- Nice-to-have: silicone conditioner pad supplied with some refills (apply only to the edge, not the glass).
- Lift the arm gently and lock it off the screen with a soft cloth under the blade to protect the glass.
- Slide the old rubber out of the blade’s rails, noting the metal backing strips if fitted.
- Transfer the backing strips to the new refill (if required) and feed the new rubber into the rails, ensuring the locking end cap engages.
- Lower the arm carefully, never let it snap onto the windscreen.
Maintenance tips that pay off: wash the windscreen regularly, top up washer fluid with a proper additive, and avoid running wipers on a dry or dusty screen. In frost, free the blades from the glass before use. Skip petroleum-based cleaners and harsh solvents, they harden the rubber.
For best results on the 2020subaruimpreza wiperrefills, choose genuine Subaru refills or quality aftermarket options that match the correct cross-section profile. If the vehicle is a sedan, there’s no rear wiper, hatchbacks typically use a compact rear refill. When in doubt, check the owner’s manual or parts catalogue by VIN to confirm sizes and profiles.
Popular question: What sizes are the 2020 Subaru Impreza wiperrefills?
Most 2020 Impreza models use a 26-inch driver’s side refill and a 16–17 inch passenger’s side refill, depending on blade supplier. Hatchbacks add a rear refill around 12 inches, while sedans don’t have a rear wiper. Always confirm by VIN or owner’s handbook, as profiles and lengths can vary between trims and markets.
Choosing the right length and cross-section ensures the refill locks properly into the beam blade and wipes edge-to-edge without chatter.
Popular question: How often should 2020 Subaru Impreza wiperrefills be replaced in AU/NZ conditions?
Plan on every 6–12 months. Strong UV, coastal air and heat can age rubber quickly, so city and coastal drivers may lean closer to six months. If you notice streaks, squeaks or judder after cleaning the screen, swap them sooner.
Regular inspection during services keeps visibility high and reduces wear on the blade rails.
Popular question: Can universal wiperrefills be used, or should genuine Subaru inserts be fitted?
Universal refills can work if they match both the length and the rubber profile used by the beam blade. However, genuine Subaru inserts or high-quality equivalents designed for the Impreza’s blade profile usually fit faster and perform more quietly.
If the profile is wrong, the refill may not lock in securely or can chatter on the glass, so matching the profile is more important than the brand name.
