Corretct windshield wipers?
I've had some problems with wipers. Every time I buy one that is supposedly for the '00 S4, they are either too long, too short, or not curved (pax side). So...
1) What are the best blades for year round performance (i.e. don't freeze, no chatter, actually remove water and not smear it)?
2) Where can I get them and what are the right part #'s?

The rubber inserts are flexible, so curveature is not a problem.
There are little metal runners that are curved tha should have been salvaged from your OEM blades. When installed properly, those give the desired curveature.
They always come too long. Just cut the non-tabbed end to the correct length.
OEM blades are the best solution, IMO.

Not sure, but if you STFA, you can find the part number pretty easily.
If you really want to search for a better solution, go for it. IMO, my blades worked wonderfully when new, and I like to have them replaced every 5k. At no more than $10, it's not a problem to keep them new and in good shape.
