Default cheap wiper blade option

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

There's a new seller from Hong Kong on Ebay, I was skeptical of his "ADUI" blades but the photo seemed correct and only $20, so I took a chance. Just got them, they seem a little flimsier than the regular OEM/Valeo ... but they fit and worked perfectly, just like the Valeo. May not last as long, then again for me the standard blades never lasted more than 6 months anyway.

If you don't feel like spending $40 on blades, this is a solid, 1/2 price option. BTW, I read somewhere you can extend blade life by sanding w 100 grade sandpaper. I tried that on my old ones and definitely worked.

Just bought blades ($42 total) from dealer. Will have to try the sandpaper trick on the old ones and see how it works.

Default Audi A4 Replacement Wiper Blades

I've used trico neoforms religiously for a few years. Just got an email from wipers123 and there's rebates right now. They're substantially lower than OEM but a little more than hong-kong specials - LOL I'm picking up two sets for both vehicles.

I just use Valeo 900-22-5B blades from Amazon.com . High quality, and under $20 shipped each if you buy 2.

We sell the OEM 4B1-955-425-C for $16.50 each. Never had a complaint about the OEM blades. I personally have tried nearly every blade on the market and none of them outperform the OEM blades. I also have never met a blade that lasted longer than 6 months up here in the Pacific NW.
