I bought mine from autobarn.net but I've heard that your local wal-mart may be selling them for as low as $15!!

The bought a set of the Valeo's and the part numbers on the blades are identical to the ones on the OEM blades.

Default They fit other cars but our pre-2004 B6's use a stupid proprietary attachment mechanism....

so no, you'll have to get Aero wiper arms. The wiper arms themselves are only $30/ea from worldimpex.com.

Default I would buy the Anco W22-R refills for like $6/set....they worked for about 2-3 months...

but then they'd start to skip but once wet they'd work fine.

Default ya, I emailed them about this special but no one got back with me..

there is no way to order them online because they don't list them for sale for the B6. The B6 takes an OE part number...900-22-5B. I think the "5B" designates it as the OEM part with OEM fitting.

Default You should put your Phatbox on Ebay. I think it would sell fast there...

they seem to be in demand. I bought a new cradle for 60 bucks and I've seen the cartridges go for more than that.
