I feel a little embarrassed to be asking such a simple question, but its time to replace my wiper blades. Last weekend I went to Autozone and bought 2x22" Bosch blades, only to find out they are the incorrect size. Then the larger problem; every blade the store sells is the wrong size for my car - they are all too large to clip into the arm on my B6. As all the atuto stores sell the same brand, I will encounter the same problem at other retailers.

Are the blades a part I have to get from an Audi dealer? If so, how much do they cost? Is anyone aware of an online site that sells them for a reasonable price vs the potential dealer price?

 

I think you might be doing something wrong.

 

um i can put on wiper blades like puttin my clothes on. i think the b6 has an arm that looks like a hook right? any ol' blade will fit on there man. take a pic and post it. i'll sorta edit the pic to use for instructions

 

^^no, the B5 has the hook. but the B6 is different

but Phil, what year car?

 

Its a late 2002 B6.

To the first reply; I know wiper blades are a synch, thats when they fit. When I unclipped the installed blades I had to push down a button - very simple. The problem was the new balde was too wide to fit inside the slot on the wiper arm. Also, the clip holes on the new blade did not align with the wiper arm. Believe me I tried all options and felt an idiot by the end of it. Is there a brand people use on their B6's?

 

know what i need some new wipedogs too,who gots info cuz i gots 2 know.....(size,best,etc)

 

here in canada i paid $17 for both wiper blades at the dealer

 

yeah dude i had that SAME problem...i have a 02 b6...you gotta go to the dealer.

 

i bought 24inch slide in inserts. they were a PITA to install. the slide insert is maybe 2-3mm wider than it should be, and the B6 uses like a 23 1/2 inch wiper or 23inch or something odd that you can't find anywhere easily.

 

yea what size on a 98 A4???
