Default 05 Allroad Wipers: Is it true that the only place to get replacements wipers is from the dealer?

I had an 01 and could get them anywhere. Dealer today told me they are only available from them? Say it aint so!

Default too high a price for something that looks wrong.

Just go online to either genuineaudiparts.com or riversideaudi.com (service link.parts)

Riverside is 17.00 each
Genuine Audi Parts is 13.80 each.

Default According to a regional audi guru, they perform much better than the stock blades

But this thread should clear up the confusion for the OP. The answer used to be yes, but now you can get them elsewhere.<ul><li><a href="http://the%20skinny%20on%20allroad%20wiper%20blades%20&am p;%20inserts">https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/250792.phtml</a></li></ul>
