Thanks to MDAudi for the suggestion.

You are welcome! I got the idea from some YouTube video review of wipers for the Allroad (I was trying to decide what to buy because my wife was bugging me incessantly about her rear wiper chatter), and it worked for us (and restored domestic harmony!), so I thought I would pass it along...

Everyone's ideas are all better than purchasing a new OEM rear blade. I stopped by the dealer last month to maybe get one, until they told me it cost $80! That is just plain ridiculous.

That is ridiculous, I ordered a Bosch OEM rear wiper for our Q7 for $15.00, and it takes approx 30 seconds ( if that long) to pop out the old wiper and snap in the new one.. Installation is the same on the allroad.

I flipped my rear wiper couple days ago and was able to test it out yesterday in the heavy rain, and the chatter has also stopped for me too! Thanks for the good advice.
