The front wiper blades for a 2019 Crosstrek are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger side; the rear blade is 11 inches.
Wiper sizes matter for clear visibility and safe driving. The Crosstrek’s windshield design leads to slightly different blade lengths than some other compact SUVs; using the wrong size can leave streaks or miss portions of the windshield. This guide explains the official sizes and how to verify them for your specific vehicle.
Front wiper sizes
Before replacing the front blades, know the two blade lengths that fit the Crosstrek 2019 model year. The sizes reflect the driver’s side and the passenger side, which are intentionally different to cover the swept area.
- Driver’s-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 16 inches
Note: Blade type (conventional vs beam) and connector style can vary by brand. If you’re replacing with aftermarket blades, ensure the connector matches your Crosstrek’s wiper arm type (often J-hook or pin). Always verify the size on the blade packaging or your owner's manual.
Rear wiper size
The rear window uses a single, smaller blade. For the 2019 Crosstrek, the rear blade is typically 11 inches in length.
- Rear blade: 11 inches
Tip: Some parts lists show 12 inches only for certain markets or trim levels, but the common U.S. specification is 11 inches. If your rear blade appears longer or shorter, measure it or confirm with Subaru parts.
How to confirm and replace
Double-check with reliable sources
To be certain you buy the correct blades, check your vehicle’s owner’s manual, the Subaru Parts website, or your VIN-specific parts lookup. Measurement can be done by removing the current blades and measuring the blade length, or by checking the packaging on replacement blades for the exact length and connector type.
Choosing blades and installation tips
Consider upgrading to beam blades for better contact on curved windshields and rain performance. When installing, align the blade with the wiper arm’s hook/connector and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damage. Replacing blades in pairs for the side with the longer blade can help ensure balanced performance.
If you’re unsure, visit a service center or auto parts store for assistance. Bringing the old blades with you can help staff verify the correct size.
Summary
The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek front wipers are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger side, with an 11-inch rear wiper. Always verify by checking the owner’s manual or an official parts lookup for your exact trim and locale, as some markets may vary slightly. Regular replacement improves visibility and safety.
