What size wiper blades does a 2015–2019 Subaru Outback take?
- 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 2015–2019 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 2015–2019 Subaru Outback use?
- Sizes constant across 2015–2019; some fitment charts list 18-in for the passenger side, verify against the old blade before ordering. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
