Default 02-05 A4 B6 Wiper

I did quite some research online for our 02-05 A4 B6 Wiper, it turns out we only have two choices:

1. OEM Dealer Insert or Wiper Blade Set

2. Upgrade to Bosch AeroTwin (with replacement of AeroTwin wiper arm)




I'm not really happy with the OEM Wiper, even I replace a new one, it still make a big noise. sth like not enough downforce pushing the wiper close to window.
The AeroTwin seems to be better than OEM Wiper.

Just wondering did anyone here upgrade to AeroTwin? and how do you like it so far? Where can I buy them from except eBay?
thx!!



here's the AeroTwin Wiper Arms Blades Kit Bosch:

Check the pivot on the wiper arm. Sometimes they rust up and dont allow the spring to put tension on the arm. Also make sure the spring isnt broken or missing. Are you sure you need a whole new arm for those bosch blades. I coulda swore i saw some blades at autozone that would work.

i just picked up some blades at autozone the other day...coulnd't say for sure if they fit yet cause i cant figure how the hell to get the old ones off.

the guy at the store said that basically any 21" blade will fit.

They are 21" blades, but the ones from Autozone will not work. I bought some a couple weeks back and the universal blades don't work... Seem that our cars have a specific blade that they use that you have to pick up straight from the dealer or a European mechanic shop. Run you about the same price though. (To get your old blades off, there is a little button on the end of the wiper arm that you have to press down. Took me about 15 minutes to figure it out because mine were frozen so they wouldn't budge.)

I just checked PIAA's web.

http://www.piaa.com/WiperBlades/wiper_app.php

they stated that:


AUDI - A4 96-04 Drivers Side Passenger Side Rear Inches: 21 21
mm: 525mm 525mm
Adapter: C3 C3 Super Silicone Blades Blade Number: 11 11C
Black Part Number: 95053 93253
Carbon Fiber Part Number: - -


so our B6 model's C3 type? and this would work?

I went to Pep Boys, AutoZone and Murray's could not find any wiperblades that would fit. Finally went to dealer cost $ 38.36 for both and they are really easy to install, just make sure it is notcold outside when you push the button on the wiper arm because it will break and a new wiper arm is about $ 50 - $ 75...........
