Default Windshield wiper ARM

Does anyone know if there are aftermarket windshield wiper arms available? I'm sick of being screwed by Audi every time I want to change my wiper blades because they have the only kind that fits the arm on my '02 A4. I have tried so many different blades with absolutely no luck - no blade will fit the plastic connector piece that I currently have. Can anyone help with this?

Have you tried wiper refills. When I need to change the wipers, I just buy the actual rubber part (I measure the length of the stock ones), slide the old rubber part off and insert the new one. It's dirt cheap, you don't really need to change the whole metal part of the wiper blade.

I just purchased a new blade from the dealer and it wasn't that much like $15. Its probably a little higher than the local parts store. as for the arm will this work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Audi-...spagenameZWDVW

Are aero wipers more durable and will they last longer than the normal Audi wipers?

I have tried the wiper refills, but I guess I just didn't have the technique down to install the new wipers that it caused me more pain than it was worth to me. Is there a trick to putting the refills back on the wiper?
