(TL;DR at the bottom.)You bought a Forester because the Outback was too expensive, and the Ascent was too big, and the Crosstrek, well, it's a Crosstrek- it's entry-level. I get it.Here's the thing. "The Fishbowl," or "Greenhouse," (& other nom de plume's of Forester's) have one thing: a big motherhecking windshield. You buy those Michelin Blades at Costco and you think to yourself, "ooh! this is both cheap and should be easy to add to my car." Then you get to your car and for whatever reason the wind is blowing a lot more than when you got your costco card out as you were walking to the rollup door when you first got there. But you're determined to get these on, to avoid the smear that's been sublty annoying you and to feel some level of progress and success considering you just spent a kidney's worth of money on a full cart of grocs (groceries, for the uninformed). You push the small barge with wheels to the car corral, and head back to the car, determined.The wind kicks up as you walk back to the car, and gently tug the wiper away from the windshield, cocking it back to it's position for changing blades. The wind blows again, and you get the package almost open, and then there- the wiper blade is free in your hand, only for you to realize- this snazzy forester? it has a "special" wiper connector. As you see the other adapters clatter at the bottom of the open wiper box, you notice the blusters that have nudged you have blown the instructions far, far away. You open the other box to get those instructions, only to have the wipers' adapters fall out and find their new home on the semi-wet pavement under the exact middle of your car.The heat on your neck? That's called rage. It's gentle now, but you know it's not backing down anytime soon. You shove the instructions into your jeans pocket and get down quickly, worried someone will call 911 out of kindness, and reach, stretch, skootch, and... there. got it.You pull the instructions back out, and sigh. This is going to take bit because you have remove part of one adapter and connect it to another because of your "special blades." you get one on, and the connection is anything but secure. I mean, it's on there, but one good gust and you're carving rain away from your windshield with steel q-tips. The driver's side on, but you can't push it back down yet because it'll hit the passenger blade, so you leave it at flacid attention. You do the whole thing over again, the sun getting low, and now, for whatever reason a little mist in the air, nudging you to get this thing taken care of. You sigh as the passenger wiper's spring "ging-ging"s as you return it to it's resting position and walk around to bring the driver side down. Corral all the garbage from this now moist endeavor, put it in the backseat, with the old wipers in the box and think to yourself, "I wonder if they'd take 'em if I returned them? Hmm." The car turns on with the consistency of the love/hate relationship you have with the Star/Stop feature and you pull the wiper stalk back to spray the windshield despite the mist from earlier still resident. The crisp lines of clarity. Success.TL;DR: These are made to go on your forester. They have the little grooves. Buy them, and then, for the first time, put them on with ease, AT YOUR OWN HOME. Then, because it comes with, change that red-headed stepchild of a wiper we all ignore on your back window. You'll be glad you did.

Don't make the same mistake I did. These wipers have a form fitting plastic cover over the rubber blade. I didn't realize this and being I have replaced a lot of wiper blades in my life, i didn't read the instructions. The instructions plainly state you need to slide this plastic protector off the blade before use. I didn't and they made a scratchy noice and didn't clear water off the windshield properly. I initially gave the wipers a one star review then I realized what I had done, now they work wonderfully! I see there are other one star reviews that talk about the same issues, and I bet dollars to donuts they didn't remove the protective cover.

I can't be happier. A great price for these wipers where elsewhere, they cost a fortune. Easy to install and they work great. I'm very happy with them

I was skeptical about ordering these for my Subaru; however; they exceeded my expectations. They are sturdy and perform well. I installed during cold winter months while dealing w ice/snow and they've held up well. I will likely order them again in the future...great value!!

These are good. Fit well and the auto parts store wanted $35 for one. Not as tight a snap in as original but stays on

Easy to install, look just like OEM as expected, and work perfectly. I never quite realized how bad my wipers were until I actually exchanged them. Wow, I should have done that sooner. I can't speak for how they perform in hotter climates, but they are working great in Washington State.

If you have a 2013-18 ford escape, please purchase instead of other options unless oem of course! They fit snug the tabs stay locked in and by far the best choice.

After 3 years of use, I finally had to replace my factory OEM wiper blades on my Subaru Outback. These blades have the correct adapter and attachments built right in so it’s basically click the old ones out, click the new ones in and you’re done; easy-peasy. No need for adapters or instructions. As far as quality; here’s where you get what you pay for. They look fine, fit is perfect, but the coated rubber is pretty flimsy. Nowhere near the quality of OEM or brands like the Bosh Icon or the higher-end silicone Rain-X Endura. They’re more along the lines of the cheap, no-frills, Michelin blades you can get for $10 each at Costco.Do they work? Yes. Are they cheap? Oh yeah, you get 3 wiper blades cheaper than one wiper blade of other brands. But make no mistake, these are as generic as they come. You can expect maybe 3 months of use before the coated rubber starts to wear down, smear water, and make that horrid “Parump” sound every time they wipe. So, in the long-run, are you really saving that much money? Not really. If you’re having to replace them every few months, you might as well invest in a higher-end product that has a longer life span; OEM will cost you $70-$80 but will last for years before they need to be replaced. If you’re in a financial pinch, these will do the job for a little bit to get you through the season but don’t go in expecting exceptional quality at a much lower price. That’s just not what these are.
