Non-OEM Wiper Blades for the A3?
Does anyone use non-OEM wiper blades on their A3? Which brand do you use?
I wanted to experiment with another product and went looking for Bosch Icon wipers. I had no success in finding them in an application that would fit the A3. I am now wondering what options there are for wipers other than the OEM type from the dealer.

Re: OEM is pretty much your only option.
I recall someone mentioning the Rain-X Latitude wiper blades as an option. On other vehicles, I have used PIAA silicone wipers from Tire rack, and found them excellent, but they're not available for the A3... yet.

Exactly. I got two winters from mine. Very quick change. Aftermarket isn't always the answer.
My rear blade needs replaced, but that's a traditional style. Shouldn't have any trouble with replacing that one from AutoZone et.al. - experience with the rear blade, NE1?
