Aero blades?

Post by david7m » Mon Dec 08, 2008 4:37 pm

What are these? Nice blades to replace OEM ones?

I like them, they were original fitment on my TT, now I have them on the B5 RS4. Bought them off a VW dealer, for a Passat I believe, as they are cheaper than Audi. They are bigger/floppier than the older style blades and do a better job of clearing rain.

Grizz just fitted them to the 6. I wasn't keen, but thought I would give it a try. Glad I did, great end result :D

Much better than OEM B5 RS4 wiper blades - no smearing, no dragging, no noise - on my second set now.

You've got 2 options - buy blades to fit your existing arms or go the whole hog and get a kit from vag-parts that replaces the arms (recommended).
