GGMan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi  Dose anyone know where I get wipers for the Subaru 2018 XV? I have bought these 'Genuine BOSCH 3397006838 AP26U AEROTWIN Windscreen Flat Wiper Blade' but all the fittings do not fit mine. 😞 I have also tried WiperBlades.co.uk, no go. I attached a photo, showing the XV fitting marked in red and the other picture with the green tick, is wipers from the USA with correct fitting. Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieb Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As far as I know these should fit, Ive not purchased any for my car yet although the fitted OEM ones on my car are currently showing signs of streak marks.

ernieb Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think the rear one 300mm is a Bosch H306 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGMan Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Here the only place I could get them cheap(Approximately £9.17); without going OEM which is about £35: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Windshield-Wiper-Blades-For-Subaru-Impreza-XV-GK-GT-2017-2018-2019-26-16/323528548251  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGMan Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Why Subaru have done there own version, I have no idea (or maybe to force customer into purchasing their own OEM versions) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkRX Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Sorry to dig up an old post, but anybody got ideas where to buy the Wiper Blades with the slim top fitting? Just picked up a 2019 Impreza and the wipers (probably original) are smearing the screen something rotten. I've cleaned the screen twice in four days but no improvement - just wondered if the Subaru wipers are depositing something on the screen. The cleaning method has worked in the past but not this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think why everyone has to re-invent the wheel all the time - Subaru keeping one step ahead of the after market, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkRX Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Took it back to the seller and they cleaned the windscreen with some special stuff they had (maybe brake cleaner?) and for good measure put on a new wiper blade f.o.c. - so hopefully all good . . . . judging from the black colour of what they cleaned off, I think the old blade was breaking down.

Needless to say the seller's quick fix didn't work, but using this stuff did - now I have nice clean glass. https://soft99store.co.uk/en/home/34-glaco-glass-compound-roll-on-4975759103080.html Also just got the Bosch A157S Wiper Blades which fit fine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
