The wiper arms on my JDM Bug are in need of a refurb. One option I have is to have them dipped but tbh think they look a bit naff and thinking of a flatter more modern style replacement.
Have seen this style on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F163057817538 but not sure how great fitment will be or if it’ll sweep the screen as well.
Has anyone else with a JDM done this?
To follow up, it turned up yesterday and closely resembles the one Don posted for a Legacy wagon above, so it’s WAY too short, probably at least 8-10cm out.
Don, any idea if the new Legacy saloon design would fit?

No personal experience but here is a link to someone who has fitted it to a GD impreza
So several conversations later with the local dealer's parts department haven't yielded a lot of progress; the guy doesn't seem to know which model this is off despite sending several photos so have sent this link today https://jp-carparts.com/subaru/partl...art=86532AG100
I'm not entirely certain why but he was claiming he couldn't find the part numbers in the photos above, so I'm hoping the above will help....waiting to see what he comes back with.
Well it's been a while due to various finance problems, but now back on track. Have ordered a second hand set of front wipers in decent nick, and have ordered the BL Legacy saloon rear wiper arm, cover and blade from JapanParts for £57 delivered today.
Will let you know if they fit....here's hoping :
Great stuff can’t wait, if you have some success I will go down the same route, incidentally I am retro fitting mine, what did you use as a switch?
Mine's a real JDM mate so afraid I can't help you sorry.
The rear wiper on the JDM is triggered by the wiper stalk. If you're adept at wiring you can actually remove the wheel, cowl and fit a JDM set of stalks but the problem is they're backwards to UK so you may find the wiring looms don't match.
Turned up this Monday and threw the arm and wiper on today. Really happy with it, looks more modern and not the horribly rusted and badly painted old arm it replaced.
Not cheap though. The parts themselves are only £30 for all 3 bits of the arm and blade, but it cost me nearly another £40 in postage and HMRC / Parcelforce rip off charges. In fact, Parcelforce and HMRC took more in handling fees than it cost me to pay Japan post! Still, all done and happy with it.

The only wiper I got is this https://www.subarupartspros.com/sku/...oa591r614.html. Would the rubber really get hard after 2 years or more and when should I replace it since right now it is already not that soft.
