Where can I find correct wiper blades?
 
<center><img src="http://www.questwest.us/webroot/audi/DSC00056.JPG"></center><p>Hi guys,

For '02 Audi A4 1.8TQM

1. WHERE can I buy the correct wiper blades online? (I checked with local shops in town incl. AutoZone, CarQuest they both thought their blades would fit, ended up the ones they wanted to sell me was the correct length but didn't fit.

2. Any idea of the price?

Thanks guys,
!CK<ul><li><a href="http://www.questwest.us/webroot/audi/DSC00061.JPG">http://www.questwest.us/webroot/audi/DSC00061.JPG</a</li></ul>

OEM is the only option for the whole blade
 
you can get 22" rubber insert refills at autozone, they will work, but you have to install them yourself, not just undo the clip

Anco W22R fit, with a little tweaking. Nice Jumbo Jet.

No, you yave the standard wiper arms/blades that came on pre-2004.5MY cars....
 
but you can upgrade to aero arms if you want. Total set plus blades is around $100.

definitely....just need to pop the end cap off the rubber blade and then pull the rubber insert off
 
the wiper casing.

Then the only tweaking you may need to do is widen the track that the new wiper refill will slide down into. To get an idea of what I'm talking about, just watch how the rubber blade slides out of the wiper casing and you'll see.

The ANCO refills tend to be a bit wider than Audi wiper casings, which means you just need a set of needle nose pliers to wide the track. There are 4-6 spots that need to be widened. Also, if you do use plyers make sure you use some cloth in between the pliers and the metal wipers because if you don't you'll peel off some of the paint, which will provide a starting point for future paint peeling.

Oh ya, the ANCO wiper refill may be about 1 CM too long so you may have to trim it a bit with scissors.
