Need help with wipers.
 
Looking fo new blades for my 2003 A4. I like the curved style blades like the Bosch Icon, but I am having trouble finding one that will fit with the right attachment. Any help?

I've read people modifying their arm connector to fit the Rain-X latitude or Bosch Icon blades.

OE option would be to get the Aero wiper arms, which will give you the Aero blades you're looking for. About $100 for the arms and blades, easy DIY.

Other than the above suggestion, your only other useful choice is to hit the dealer for wiper blades at $20-25 each.

$28 for the pair at AutohauzAZ

We have the Aeros for 25 a set.

By the sounds of it, he already has the Aero wipers? OP, what wipe arm do you have now?

I have an '02 A4, and I got tired of buying Audi blades that just don't work well enough (even changed out the cartridges a couple times). So I finally bit the bullet a couple months ago and bought the aero upgrade arms with new blades, and I have to say that it was money well spent...highly recommended. Just drove to Vail from Denver in a bunch of road-spray and they worked perfectly.

I just bought the bosch replacements off Amazon - 28.37 (for 2) with free shipping.

Just returned to Rain X Latitudes because I could not get them to fit. Is there anything like those that will fit the factory arm? Not looking to spend a hundred bucks. The drivers blade has some kind of wing on it. Weirdest looking attachment I have seen. Why couldn't Audi just use the hooks?

So if I go with this kit.......

When those wear out, can I go to some type of aftermarket blade? Anyone know about wiper arms from another model that will fit the A4.........like a Passat that has the standard hook type attachemtn?

If you get those aeros you can get VW/Audi blades or Bosch makes a replacement blade as well. The aeros are very durable though, they tend to last much longer than standard after market blades.
