## 2010-2014 Subaru Outback wiper blades: common questions

### What size wiper blades does a 2010-2014 Subaru Outback take?

26 inches on the driver's side and 18 inches on the passenger's side, plus a 14-inch rear blade.

### Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2010-2014 Subaru Outback?

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 2010-2014 Subaru Outback use?

Some aftermarket fitment charts list a 19-in passenger blade instead of 18-in for this generation. Measure the old blade before ordering.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
