Default Wiper blade replacement for 2011 A8L

new member, just picked up CPO 2011 A8L Silver with Black interior - 28K miles - 20" wheels/LED's/Driver Assist and Premium Package - First Audi and love it so far.

I am looking to replace the wiper blades and i cannot find the OE vendor - I have seen Trico and Valeo as 2 options on various web sites but wondering which will fit out of the box.

Thanks

Congratulations and welcome to AudiWorld !

I've never been able to find an aftermarket blade for either the D3 or D4.
Normally I get mine from AudiUSAparts - the Audi version.
There was some discussion on another forum about inserts, but I don't think it was ever resolved.

Love the color of your A8, which interior color does it have ?
Was a very difficult decision for me between yours and Oolong.

I just replaced mine and got some third party ones at the local O'reilly auto parts store here in CA. They seem to work just fine and look almost the same as the OEM ones.

In case anyone else is looking for the same info - I was able to find wipers that fit out of the box on Amazon by Valeo - I ordered the Valeo Ultimate in 27" and 21"
