Default PNW Favorite Wiper Blades?

Looking to replace the wiper blades on our 2009 A6 as part of winter prep. Given the frequent winter rains, occasional snow and ice and skiing trips, is there a particular make/model/style of blade to look for?

Audi/OEM, Bosch, Goodyear (Costco), other?

Thanks
Kenreau

Ken, the number of choices on wiper blades for these cars is extremely limited. For my cars Bosch (OE = Bosch) or the dealer is the only choice.

That's what I was afraid of. Probably not a bad product, just spendy ($50 a set, iirc).

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I can find the correct item on Amazon. IIRC, it was around $35.

I did buy from the dealership once. They were $44.

Best thing to do is when you are putting your next parts order together, just get two sets so you have them on hand.

Thanks, uberwgn, I did not know of Bernardi before. After I plugged in my year/model, it came out to $37. No complaints.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

My pleasure, and thanks for the holiday greeting.

There are many other on-line Audi dealer websites....several are on the west coast meaning quicker delivery and lower S/H for you. IME, pricing is very competitve at all of them
