    Re: Rain-X Wiper Blade Installation

    I don't understand the problem. takes all of 5 minutes to replace both inserts Maybe you got a different insert? I have an '03 and the insert I use is an Anco W-22R. Maybe you need to bend your "fingers" open slightly to get them to slide in easier?

    the ending clamps were the pill, but i think the fact those metal guides kept falling out of place was what was giving me trouble, the other one was pretty much a breeze, but in the future i'd rather just pop the whole piece off and go with the new arms. As for aero blades, as soon as i heard the suck with ice, that was a deal breaker for me. I know what you all are thinking, Socal how much ice? But when i go up to the mountains i don't want to have to deal with snapping my blades just so i can see. STAY OEM, no aero blades.

    Same here, the ones I got from Audi were $5 a piece for cut to length inserts, not $50 like EBG 18T said. And they took around 5 minutes to replace...
