The beam style are nice in the northern climate because they can't get packed full of ice like the bracketed ones, so they stay on the glass easier. Added bonus, as you continue to use them into summer, you're not that jackass with the winter wipers with the rubber jackets that keep the ice out.

Well, its like $15 until they find out you're putting it on an Audi, then they stick you with the extra charge...

20 bucks a wiper. 40 bucks to go from dirty gross windshield to a clean smooth surface... feels extremely worth it :-D

I found the same thing with bosch, so I got rain-x. They look the same and fit fine. $20 per blade but pep boys had a $20 rebate, so $20 for the pair.

Do the Icons come with the needed adaptors for an '02 A4? Seems like Audi's system is a bit screwy
