Default Trouble Finding Wiper Blades

I have a 2009 A4 S-Line Cabriolet that I can't find wiper blades for. I've checked the local Autozone and Advance Auto but the wiper blades they say fit my car don't. They don't have the correct connection, nor do their adapters fit either. I read through some Audi forums and even bought two sets of Bosch AeroTwin A297S from a company in Europe, which the forum said would be direct OEM (European) replacement blades for my car. They simply aren't. I'm attaching a few pictures, which include the blade end of the wiper arm and the connector portion of the current blades. I suspecting this question may have been answered a million times, so I apologize if this question is getting old.

Don't bother with aftermarket blades. They don't fit right, an are often noisy or don't last. $48.00 from your local dealer. Ask nicely, and they will likely install them for free.


Or, try ECSTuning. With shipping, it may cost more than dealer prices.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess was hoping someone would identify them for me though. The last blades I bought came from an Audi dealer in Europe. I found them mentioned in multiple forums as European "stock" on the 2009 A4. I am learning fast that not all A4s in any model year are the same, in a lot of different ways.

A 2009 A4 Cab is actually a B7 body, which is likely why you are having trouble finding them. But like I said, go to the dealer. The blades are good quality for the money anyway.
