Default Wiper Blades

I tried one of the Armor All Silicone Wiper Blades from Canadian Tire last month. Boy was that a waste of nearly $30. The top 2 inches and the bottom 2 inches wouldn't clear the windshield. The tips look as though they are missing end caps but one of the adapters does fit the Audi.

Seen some similar looking ones made by Michelin at Costco the other day but I didn't check to see if they are compatible with Audi

Ended up buying 2 new wiper blades from Glenmore Audi, It's nice that both the driver and passenger blades are the same size, something quite rare these days.

Does anyone use any other wiper blade than the 'Genuine Part'? $38 a pop is quite a lot, but then they work I suppose

Not that I'm looking as I've just bought 2 new ones, just curious.

well Crappytire that is expected. as for dropping 78bux on blades sucks and if you can find a deal great but considering you replace them every 2-3yrs its not that bad. i've had my car 2.5yrs and considering replace them before winter.

I have had great luck with the Bosch frameless blades. There are two types: one is made in Holland, the other is made in China under license from Bosch for almost half the price, I bought the cheap ones there are very good. I got them at Lordco.
