What about the rear blade? Mine is pretty much done. Time for a replacement.

Is it similar to the old design or an improvement like the front set?

It's similar to the old design, no improvements from Subaru on that yet.

still looking for the pricing... i'm guessing the extra length on these forester wipers will be too long for my bugeye

Sorry for not getting back to you, I must have missed that reply.

I just test fit them on a bugeye we had in the shop and the passenger wiper hits the A pillar and the drivers side wiper hits the passenger wiper.

However, the 08 STI has the same style blades which I test fit and they fit just right

MSRP on the 08 STI blades is $44.90/pair
Our price is $32.86/pair

Shipping for two pairs of blades to you would be $11.58

My softball game got rained out last night, so I'll be test fitting the 09 wipers on my friends 01 this Friday. I'm sure they will fit just fine.

Thanks for seeing if the 08 STI blades fit the bugeyes!!!


I will be ordering a set of the 08 STI blades and 1 set of the 09 Forester blades. I would also like a set of the replacement blades for each set as well. You listed the replacement blades for the for the Forester Aero wipers, I would imagine the 08 STI replacement blades are similarly priced.

Whats the best way to order? phone, website??

The STI replacement inserts are actually a little cheaper

To order by credit card simply call 248-547-8800
For paypal let me know your e-mail address and I'll send over a paypal request.

The Forester blades fit on a 2006 Impreza and a 2002 Outback/Legacy.

The 09 blades are a perfect fit on a 2001 Forester, so I'm pretty sure they would fit all SF models. I did discover that the 01 S had an aero wiper on the driverside. It is a big ugly plate that is infront of the blade. Nowhere near as sexy as the 09 wipers.

Default where's the rain?

Got them already! Tuesday to Friday, Michigan to Florida.

Thanks, Ben. And a "snap" to install, too.

Now, if it'll just rain.....
