I recently ran into an issue finding a set of wiper blades that actually fit the 2018+ Subaru Crosstrek (besides the Genuine OEM Subaru option.) The Rain-X once I purchased locally were not even close. Here are options that will ACTUALLY fit:
. OEM Subaru (3-Blade Set): https://amzn.to/3tPTK1L
. AERO Avenger 16″ & 26″ Set: https://amzn.to/3CzgfvZ

Thanks for this. My 2021 Crosstrek provided the challenge on this. Saturday, we were headed north on the interstate and entered a heavy rain area. We maintained speed, and put the wipers on high to get the heavy rain off the windshield. I slowed to get in the right lane and slow a little, and when I did, the wiper blades bot flew off the arms and behind us.
Being the calm guy that I am, I was able to shut the wipers off and pull over safely. Had I not been that guy, there very well could have been a crash from this event, This blade design is a bad one. I have never had that happen in any vehicle I have driven, in over 50 years of driving!
I hate my car
Bosche envision wiper blades fits like a glove
Perfect. I felt so dumb before this video. Great stuff man.
The $32 Rain-X Endura silicone were not even close to proper mounting hardware included but the Latitude had the right adapter for what Subaru Crosstrek needs BUT after 3 months of use mine flew off in a heavy rainstorm . I had an extra wiper so no big deal but next time will not buy Rain-X for the Crosstrek . Just FYI the Subaru wiper arm mount is called narrow PTB type . That means a penny will not slide into the car's wiper arm fitting . Will get the Aero or Subaru brand . Trico stink for any car IMHO.
F U C K Subaru for this
Loved my subaru crosstrek up until this point
Going Toyota now
Thanks for the guide! Was very easy to replace, maybe 10 seconds per wiper blade with the aftermarket blade that has OEM-like fitment. Easy to install, 10/10.
Just did the exact same thing where I bought the J hook style from Rain X before realizing they are different. Good video that saves me research time for a new set.
Is it possible to change the inserts on the OEM blades? Thanks for your awesome content man I am binge-watching as many that are applicable to my new 2024 Crosstrek
Will these work for a 2017 Impreza sport? I bought a set of a different brand and the driver side blades went on okay but the passenger side didn’t fit so I need to get a different wiper for that side.
why does the right one always break first?
I wish that I had found this last week. I did buy the universal ones at the local auto store and then did extensive modifications to get them to fit. And they are twice the price of the Areo in your link.
