#1 of 6 Rear Window Wiper by gretsch1943

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement rear window wiper blade for my 2004 Forrester other than the dealer. The blade is 16" long but is much narrower than the standard blades found in most parts stores.

I had that issue a while ago, decades ago actually. There is a Narrow size for wipers - look for 16N instead of just 16".
 
You may have to special order, but I was able to find them in stock at a local auto parts store.

You might try NAPA - I got the replacement blade for my 2009 there. I got the whole blade, not just the insert.

To all: Local NAPA doesn't carry wiper. Checked with Subaru Dealer, price for blade and insert is $14.95....will get it there.
