26 inches on the driver's side and 17 inches on the passenger's side, plus a 14-inch rear blade.

Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2014–2018 Subaru Forester?

Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

What wiper connector does a 2014–2018 Subaru Forester use?

Consistent across 2014–2018 per multiple owner and parts-fitment sources.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
