Non-OEM wiper blades

[c@@kieMonsta]

So I've been using Valeo 900 series blades on my B7 and have been met with somewhat mixed results. First set was excellent, second not so much(drivers blade leaves streaks). Now, with that all being said, I need to replace the blades on my C6. I'm not going to go with the Valeo blades, so I was set on getting the Bosch OEM set for $31 on Amazon. However, I found another brand that I've never heard of before on Amazon that I'm willing to give a shot. The blades are just under $9 a blade, so what the hey? I live where it doesn't rain all that much, so I'm willing to trying these @ less than $18 a set. Any one else ever heard of these?

...NVM I don't think these will fit haha. Looking closer at the pics, the hooking mechanism is different.

Those are "J" hook wiper blades and the C6 does not have "J" hook wiper arms so they will not work. I have not found any non OEM blades for the C6. I have purchased these:

or I buy the blades from genuineaudiparts.com. About the same price from either.

The ones at this link are note quite right for the later models because for some reason they have slightly different (~1cm) length left and right blades.

If anyone has found less expensive blades for the C6 please post.

I have bought the Bosch ones in the past too, seem to last 2 years or so before needing replacement. I don't know of any alternatives because of the weird mount they use.

That's what I ended up getting, but for less through Amazon warehouse deals because they have a few with damaged packaging.

These X2, no noise/chatter... Seem to last two years or so.

Got those in yesterday, popped right in and g2g. Paid $23 for a brand new set in slightly crushed packaging. Amazon WHD FTW.

glad you scored. curious: were the ones you took off VAG? they (OEM) are 7mm different between left and right. which is likely in the noise, but since the blades you put on are 2 of the same, just curious if you have differences in swept pattern (right or left)?

Too early to tell. Just installed them, but haven't had the opportunity to use them.
