Any recommendations on a wiper blade refill for my 07 4.2? Specifically the front blades. The OEM blades look like the Bosch Icon, but the attachment to the wiper arm is definitely proprietary. I'd like to just swap out the rubber blade insert if possible, not the entire wiper blade, since the rest of the blade is like new. Any ideas? Anyone know off hand what the lengths needed are? I know about Audicare replacements, but my car has more than 12k on the odo.

Thanks!

I think you have to buy the inserts from a dealer, or buy it online from an Audi parts site

Get them from the dealer.. about $60 for all of them including the back

Seems like a very low mileage for replacements.

I just checked Rain-Xs website, and you can get them for 20.99 each side from there

Michelin makes a replacement blade- 26" I believe. I've gotten them at Walmart

I'll take apart my old ones and see if a standard refill will work. Audi doesn't sell the inserts seperately, just the entire wiper blade. Thanks for all the help everyone.

I just said >12k, because I know that someone would suggest having Audicare take care of it if I had <12k.

I think they are designed to be replaced as an entire unit. At $20 each they really aren't worth messing around with IMO and they seem to last longer than most other blades as I only seem to change them once a year.
