Front wiper blades: driver side 26 inches, passenger side 17 inches. Rear wiper blade: 11 inches.
For the 2014 Subaru Forester, the typical setup uses two different front blade lengths and a separate rear blade. Sizes can vary by market or trim, so confirm by measuring your current blades or checking the owner's manual before purchasing replacements.
Front wiper blades
The Forester's front blades come in two lengths to cover the driver and passenger sides. Using the correct sizes ensures full windshield contact and effective clearing in adverse weather.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 17 inches
Using the right lengths helps prevent streaks and ensures efficient wiping. If your current blades differ in length, recheck the model year and trim or measure to confirm before buying replacements.
Rear wiper blade
The rear wiper on the 2014 Forester uses a single, smaller blade.
- Rear blade: 11 inches
Rear blade sizes are typically standardized across the Forester's generation; replacing with the correct size keeps rear visibility clear. If your model has a different rear arm or adapter, verify compatibility with your chosen blade.
Choosing the right blade type
In addition to length, blade design matters. Beam (flat) blades are common and often provide better contact and a quieter wipe than traditional framed blades. When shopping, look for blades with compatible adapters for your Forester's wiper arms and consider climate-specific options such as winter blades if you live in snowy areas. Reputable brands (for example, Bosch, Valeo, Rain-X) and OEM Subaru blades are typically reliable choices for a 2014 Forester.
Summary
For a 2014 Subaru Forester, use 26" driver-side and 17" passenger-side front wiper blades, plus an 11" rear blade. Always confirm these sizes on your specific vehicle if you’re unsure, and consider weather conditions and connector compatibility when shopping for replacements.
