I know some TT people are using them, and have read some good things. Anyone know if they fit our cars?

Search is down, so please no STFA advice. =)

Default They definitely make the correct size for the B5 S4 (same as B5 A4 and B5 Passat), but I have not

yet tried them. Still have some old style blades in stock, so I need to use them up 1st. Booklet at my local Advance Auto Parts had our vehicle listed and had that size in stock.

Default Hmm, I just searched AAP online and they make no mention of those blades for any B5...bastards!

I'll have to go to the store.

I like OEM blades the best. Replace every 10k, and they work great.

Default I've been using them for a couple of weeks. So far they're great. I used a 21" and a 20", and with

the $15 rebate from Autozone makes them a similar price to the regular bosch wipers.

Default I saw that rebate deal. 21" for driver's side, and 20" for passenger's side? [EDIT inside]

Are they just a direct bolt-on or do you also need to replace the arms?

The ones I saw came with adapters to fit any standard wiper arm, so no need to buy new arms.
