Default Audi Q7 Aftermarket Wiper Blades...

Is there any set of Bosch wiper blades that are compatible with the OEM Q7 Wiper Arms?

iconoclast, if you're looking specifically for Bosch, they are available. You can check all the options here: Bosch Automotive Parts at CARiD.com

unless those are stock photos none of the attachment points look similar to the Q7:

My personal experience is that the Bosch blades are some of the crappiest available. I like the Trico NeoForm with Teflon, and their size finder says they make a size for the Q7. I had them on my 2010 Q7.

TRICO NeoForm®: Teflon Beam Wiper Blades | TRICO® Windshield Wipers

You may have to search hard to find them. I got mine on Amazon, since local dealers did not have in stock.

I've put them on all my cars; and they are far superior to anything else I've tried - especially the Bosch.

I've tried Bosch Icon blades a couple of times on different cars, and have never been impressed. They're great for the first week, and as soon as a pine needle gets stuck under it, it starts streaking. The rubber seems too soft, and not very durable. The OEM wipers are similar. The Goodyear wipers they sell at Costco used to be okay, but they changed the connector and now they chatter like crazy. I bought a pair of Valeo from Amazon when they had a bogo deal, haven't used them, but did try them on to make sure they fit, and they look just like OEM with the exception that they don't have the tab that makes them specific to drivers/passenger side, so they will work on either side. Of course, they almost cost the same as OEM, so it's not a deal unless you get them on sale, but it is nice not having to buy specific driver & passenger side blades. Has anyone found a good aftermarket replacement for the rear wiper blade?
