Wiper blade replacements?
Mistakenly thought these were replaced automatically with 10k/1yr service and thought I got a lousy replacement pair that’s really streaky, turns out they’re just really old.
Thoughts from the group? OEM vs after market? Hear good things about Bosch icon and Trico, but the bosch icons might be the OEMs.
Dealer wants $80 to replace them.

Hahaha yes, definitely replace these myself... I just thought it was included in maintenance. And prices I’m finding online are like $60-65 for OEM replacement blades and would pick them up from my dealers parts desk just for the convenience of grabbing them now (currently waiting at the dealer getting my top view camera software update)

You could compare prices with online places like https://www.getaudiparts.com/ and https://parts.audivirginiabeach.com/...07287BRN4.html.

Not sure Audi folks buy from places like Rock Auto but my other cars are SAABs and it is a great place for parts.
I have used Valeo blades before and at $13 or less each you can replace them every year if you need to

Replaced mine with the Rain-x silicone wiper blades (https://www.rainxsiliconewipers.com/), got them at Autozone. They work really well, only pet peeve I have is that the connector part is bulkier than the OEM ones, so it doesn't sit as flush.

In the pass, Audi use Bosch wipers. I tried to use oem wipers but I have used Bosch Icon before and it perform very well, althought the bracket sits a bit higher with the icon blade on my old A6, not sure about the S5.

When I search on any of the genuine Audi parts sites, I'm not seeing any wipers (or other maintenance items like that). Anyone know the correct part numbers for replacement blades for the 2018 S5 SB?
