First of all, thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

I know this is a slightly unimportant problem to be posting, but it's annoying. I bought new wiper blades for my 2003 A4 3.0 (which I love driving) and the wipers just don't work perfectly. The rain streaks and blurs. (The wipers on my former car, a Prius, worked perfectly.) I don't see any adjustments on the blade holder, so I'm not sure what to do next. Anybody out there a Wiper Whisperer?

 

My understanding, to my annoyance, is that the only "real" solution to B6 wipers sucking is to replace them, arms and all, with the B7 wipers, which are supposedly much better. One of these days I'll get around to justifying that cost to myself, cause my wipers suck too...or maybe I'll just finally get around to applying Rain-X to my windshield, and then it won't matter anyway...

If u live where it rains alot. I would highly recommend this. I too suffered with my wipers. I got this kit and night and day difference. Probably one of the best things ive done to my car.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

+10 to the B7 wipers. All the difference in the world!

 

are the b7 wipers a direct fit or do they need to be modified?

 

direct fit, comes with arms and blades. Blades are then normal retail replaceable at regular parts stores.

 

what blades can u use from the auto store. Ive seen some that look very simlar but want to verify before i get new blades.

 

I would imagine that if you've got the B7 arms, you just look in the wiper blade book at the store under 2005+ A4.

 

not sure if mine are technically classified as b7 arms as it was purchased from the link i posted.
