worldwanderer Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Looking for advice on the best way to buy a rear wiper blade for my 2005 Forester 2.0 X ( and front blades for that matter)! I have checked out eBay, but would appreciate the voice of experience! Thanks Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have PIAA wipers. Cost me about 50 quid, but they are very very good. - http://www.piaa.co.uk/wipers/wipers.asp IIf you dont use RainX already, then you really should. Imagine it was wax for your windows, the water beads and just runs off. Great Stuff. - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rain-X-80199200-Repellent/dp/B001RAJ1ZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425580782&sr=8-1&keywords=rain+x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I use these aero vu blades & have done for almost 3yrs without issue. Better than blades from local motorfactors & parts store that 3x the price. front set SF SG http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/21-19-Front-Aero-Flat-Windscreen-Wiper-Blades-Retro-Fit-Upgrade-V5-/290910050705?fits=Model%3AForester&hash=item43bb971991:g:iY4AAOxybLpRgo-f rear blade (15" can work on both SF & SG) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-Rear-Aero-Flat-Wiper-Blade-Subaru-Forester-1997-To-/270709938378?hash=item3f0791d8ca:m:mXKGlI_0cXp-pCkyrSMGf4Q Front & rear set SF http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Forester-SF-SUV-Aero-VU-Front-Rear-Flat-Window-Windscreen-Wiper-Blades-/301868954787?fits=Model%3AForester&hash=item4648cab4a3:g:CS0AAOSwQYZWuiT3 Front & rear set SG http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Forester-SG-SUV-Aero-VU-Front-Flat-Specific-Fit-Rear-Wiper-Blades-/291681598464?fits=Model%3AForester&hash=item43e993fc00:g:f90AAOSwe7BWuwzE SF to SG >2008 are all same blade fitting & size front driver 21" passenger 19" rear 15" for SF 14" for SG (if specific fit) Only had one complaint over winter (fit loads of them) & that was because clip for hook had broke, do believe probably due to wiper frozen to screen but easy fixed . I use the aero's on front & the totally flat back blade 15" for rears. The rear wipes far better being a spring steel blade , looks better plus does not collect 5hit & snow like standard blades Even my MOT garage started stocking these after my customer cars going in with them over the 5hit they been using from motorfactors.

Mr B Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 A better alternative for rear is these AC delco flat blades. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-High-Quality-Flat-Blade-Aero-Upgrade-Rubber-Wiper-Blades/261233017215 Just started using these as quality better and price superb. The 15" Fit perfect on SG or SF Forester rear . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
