Replacement Wipers

[fUbAr8p]

Evening

The drivers side wiper on my A3 Sport is missing a bit of the window every time it passes. It's been doing this for a while so I'm guessing it'll need replacing. They are the Aero wipers, so are these only available from a dealer or am I okay replacing them with Bosch Aero ones from Halfords?

as long as they fit then i cant see aftermarket ones being a problem depends on price too halfrauds arent cheap

Get them from anywhere but halfords! I think genuine Audi are cheaper!

I got these ones, work fine, nice and cheap!

Actually... don't buy both A3 wipers.

Use the Q7 wiper blade for the driver's side.

It's a MUCH better fit, and sweeps the tiny little 'shark-fin' area which the original wipers miss at the bottom of the windshield, and the little inswept 'widow's peak'. It's about 2 inches longer than the original wiper.
