Default Viper blades

Hi, guys.

I started to shop around for a viper blade replacements for my 2007 RS4 only to find out that there's something special about them. Looks like Audi decided to make them incompatible with anything else on the market.

Even those who claim to have replacements do that by length rather than by the mount.

Thus I'm seeking for an advice from you on what brand and what model viper blades to buy so it fits my car and is hopefully of a better quality than the OEM.

Thank you in advance!!!

Having never used a pair of blades longer than 6 months I have found the OEM blades to be the best option. They are high quality and reasonably priced. You might be able to save a couple bucks going with Bosch (they make the OEM blades) on Amazon but they seem to have occasional supply issues. We have them 4B1-955-425-C $16.50 each. Always in stock!

Thank you for your advice, Jake! Good to know the part number!

I see some aftermarket alternatives out there like VALEO. Not sure if there's anything better than OE. If people agree that OE is the best I'll order from you.

P.S.
BTW, I haven't found those on amazon. I believe you should try selling there too. I can take advantage of their handling service to save on shipping. Good savings on small and light parts as your shipping becomes dirt cheap.

I just noticed quite a few threads about finding discount blades on Amazon. After I posted I looked and didn't find them either. Thanks for the input, I'll pass it on to the boss!
