I'm also interested in a group buy on these. The official ordinary Audi wipers are OK. The Bosch ones from Halfrauds etc are shocking! Definitely interested in being able to see when it's wet!

Just off the phone to VAGParts, should have the GB setup by C.O.B. today!


Speaking to one of the chaps at VAG Parts, he advises that the Aero wipers are a lot better at staying fixed to the windscreen than the 1st generation aero wipers as well as the original style wipers.

Also the Aero wipers are std fit on Lambo's and on the R8, so you should be fine :wink:

Well I got some too.
Just like to confirm that they work in the rain consistently OK at 100mph, but above that can lift off the screen depending upon severity of crosswinds.
At 120mph they lift albeit slightly and fail to clear the windscreen.

So far at all times they have been quiet and smooth. Impressed with the clear uncluttered neat view from the driver's seat. Arms attach to the side of the blade to preventing the twisting movement with conventional top-mounted arms.
