I got some new wiper blades for the A3 from the RainX website. For about $60 you get the front wipers, a bottle of RainX, foam window cleaner and a microfiber towel. The passenger side is 20" long vs the stock 19" which worried me a little. It adds a half inch the top and bottom and is close to the top edge of the window. On the plus side they have a superior attaching device compared to the OEM versions. They seem to be working okay in the little bit of rain I've driven in. Might be the fresh application of RainX which is always recommended.

 

If you want to try an excellent product for windshield treatment try Aquapel.

This product is much like rainex but lasts for months. My Acura dealer applied it to my new car and i was very impressed with the streaming of h20 off the windshield at highway speed. Their website says its petroleum distillate vs. silicone wax technology. Try it, I'm sure you will like it.

 

Any update on the wipers? Thinking about picking up a pair.

 

Ever since I got them it's hardly rained here in Texas.
