    Wiper Blades

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    This may seem like a dumb question but I need to know. The wipers on my 06 Audi A4 Quattro are a real b**** to find. I live in US and I have tried Advance Auto they don't have a listing. I went to CARQUEST and they sell them for $44 a blade. I rather not pay that much for blades. Anyone help is greatly appreciated!

    I find importecautoparts.com has probably the best price: Valeo (OEM) wiper blade set 22" (with 2 blades) at $26.77.

    Ebay; you can get OEm for $26 per pair shipped. Just bought a couple- pretty sure they are the same 22" blades for B6/ B7(A4) and C5/A6.
    And DONT buy anything but OEM for these blades or they'll suck balls.

    I would stay with OEM. They last. I had mine on for the past year and a half.

    I have tried some other brands and they didn't hold up. Stick with OEM.

    Not sure who makes the OEM wipers (assuming Bosch?), but I second these Bosch Aero Twins from Amazon.
    Bought a pair when I got my car and they've been fantastic so far. Quiet and streak free, and you can't beat Amazons customer service, shipping times, and return policy.
    Reviews are terrific too. They seem to last a long time compared to other wipers I researched.

    What don't you like about the Bosch Aero's?

    I just put them on my car just wondering if it's something specific to look out for?

    They are not as solid or consistent compared to OEM.
    They shudder or chatter sometimes, when OEM never did - they were perfect.
    And yes I have a clean and Rain-X'ed windshield, and I never made sure the rubber was not dry. Really weird, not sure why.
