Default Windshield wiper blade refills OEM

Audi A6 1999.

First time have to replace them on my own. Cannot find OEM refills on the internet. Lots of refills, but none is listed as OEM. Will any of them fit, or do I have to buy them from the dealer? How much do they (dealers) charge?

Thnks

I am sure that there are aftermarket refills that will work but the OEM inserts only cost around $10 each from the dealer. If you buy them online somewhere you have to pay shipping and then wait for them to be delivered.

Default I just got them. I think they're like $10 or $12. Very difficult to put in.

At least for me. You have to get those metal strips into the slots and slid them into the arms and get them to lock at the end... The passenger side wiper arm is curved laterally so it gets even more interesting. Good luck. It took me close to an hour. Results, however, were excellent.

Default My dealer charged $16 for a set of four (need one for the Avant rear)

They are pain in the neck to install. Changing the whole assembly for something that is aftermarket user friendly may be a better idea.

I just replaced the rubber insert, $4 for a pair at Walmart. I didn't have to replace the whole blade. The work great.

Default If you're in Europe, buy the silicone refills ($10/pr, more like $12 now) work great, last longer.
