My 96 impreza S.W. rear wiper arm has rusted and corroded to the point that it doesn't really wipe the rear window that well , and then, only sometimes.

 

The motor turns great . The washer sprays , not far , but it sprays. It it is the cast metal is eaten away in spots , and the pin has seized to the arm , at the .... springy thingy point..... as my wife calls it. I said that someone will know here at the USMB , will know how many years and models the rear wiper arm will interchange with , to get a newer one .

 

Thanks

93 through early 2004 Imprezas are the same part number

 

Here is the link for the part at subarupartsforyou,com

 

 

If you look there check the Legacy/Outbacks too they might all be the same.

Much appreciated , Suzam , for the link and help on the wiper arm....

Welcome to the club!

 

Does your spray from the lower part of the glass up? or from the top down?

 

Also mine is not good as well it misses a whole spot in the middle. Good to know what the part price is because I won't be able to take it during winter.

I have a spare impreza hatch back 1997 I can pull the wiper arms off of if you want. Maybe new ones are cheap enough not to worry with used, i don't know.

All the auto parts stores sell wiper arms and blades. If it were me, I would remove the arm, take it with me to a parts store, and match it up size wise with what they sell. Chances are, you will find one that will fit.

Thanks for the welcome , 1-3-2-4 , My sprays from the bottom up , about 3" , not very high but it works .

 

Grossgary , I found a local wiper arm from a legacy at a local JY , I think will work once I go to get it, going to bring the old one to compare .. thanks for your offer.

 

I took the wiper arm to the local parts stores....... and they said ....well,,,, we have to order it in, if it is stock....... So that did not work out , Rooster2 , but the thought was real good.

 

thanks again .

Well the parts store idea seemed good at the time. Not every idea works out. Hope you get it fixed with little hassle.

I hate the one that sprays from the bottom up because it never goes high enough to cover the top part of the blade.
