Wagon Rear Wiper
Can anyone tell me replacement options that worked for a newage wagon rear wiper?
Mine stuck to the rear screen in the ice and when I tried to pull it off the rubber split. After finding that the OEM wiper looks best I thought you could maybe get refills for it but that does not seem to be the case...
I even looked online for an OEM Subaru one but can't seem to find any?
Any advice appreciated - looks like Subaru may be the only option...

The length is 14" but it seems a lot of the aftermarket ones don't fit or will look crap.
Just phoned the local dealer - £19.85.
Might just have to bite. I thought this would be well discussed - I was hoping to put in a Bosch refill or something but there seems to be nothing on the subject. To be fair it's probably only the first time it's been changed.
Have Bosch Aero on the front and they are great - I thought they were OEM untill I looked.

From what I read the Bosch ones don't fit.
I see PIAA do refill kits for wipers - but the smallest they do is 380mm/15"/Size4. Tempted to email them and ask if they would do a 14" refill wiper.
In the end though I just phoned Subaru and paid for a new wiper from them - pick it up today.
edit: Emailed PIAA - I will post back if they respond.

No luck with PIAA - they stated that they do have a 14" wiper but not refill.
The Subaru wiper was £19.85 - part number 86542AG080 if anyone wants to Google it in future.
As an upside I did get a good look around and testdrive of the new WRX STI
I also found an interesting post on a Forester forum where somebody has changed the whole rear arm for a metal one (seems to give a better range of blades to fit).
