Order these... They fit and work great. Took the old ones off and clipped these on. No messing with changing adapters or other nonsense... http://www.idparts.com/valeo-oe-wiper-blade-set-mkvii-golf-p-4647.html

Running Valeo's on my own car (A3). Was a bit hesitant as I've always run Bosch on my other cars but they have been performing very well, and would expect them to perform just as well on the Jetta.

Pros: performing very well
Vehicle: Audi A3

This question seems to come up every few weeks - grab these Anco wipers. Fairly cheap, and do a great job for a year or so. Expect some streaking after a year, but definitely better than the OEM Bosch wipers

Pros: fairly cheap, great job
Cons: streaking after a year

I've got the Anco blades as well and have driven through some pretty nasty south Florida weather. Haven't had any complaints or issues with the wipers at any speed.

Pros: no complaints, no issues

I bought a 13" replacement blade from the local Wal-Mart: manufacturer 'Anco', part number 31-13. Price at my store was $4.57. It looked like it would slip right in to replace the entire wiper & blade assembly... but unfortunately, the 'cage' is too wide, and it won't fit into the A3 rear wiper receiver. -So -having spent the money & opened the pack, I decided to try using the blade and metal reinforcing 'springs' in the old (Audi OEM) wiper blade. I had to bend one 'claw' of the replacement Anco blade open, to get the new insert and metal strips out (the strips have a 'lock' which prevents them sliding out). Then I had to persuade the OLD rubber blade and spring-steel reinforcement strips out of the OEM blade assembly. -This was a bit tricky, but I was able to to slide them out. Then I slipped the new rubber and metal reinforcement strips into the old OEM blade assembly... but be sure to slip the 'clip' end in LAST, and also make sure that the three little 'teeth' on the inside faces are alongside the rubber, so that they grip it and prevent it from slipping out. UNFORTUNATELY... the replacement 'blades' are about a quarter of an inch too short, and the end away from the clips doesn't support the rubber all the way to the furthest 'claw'. -This means that if you try to run them this way, the rubber will eventually slip out from the end of the blade, leaving the 'claw' to scratch the glass. I bodged a 'fix' by re-using the OLD metal blades AS WELL AS the new ones. -You have to do this on both sides. -It's an absolute bugger to get them in all the way, would probably be a little easier if you 'lubed' up the slots that they have to slide in (the rubber slots alongside the other metal blades) with a dish soap solution or something similar, but -using a pair of pliers and some creative curse words, I got them to slide in. So... for less than five bucks I got something to work. HOWEVER... It's about a quarter of an inch shorter than the OEM blade, it's a WHOLE lot of farting around, and I think every time I do this from this point onward, I'm going to just buy the OEM blade and have done with it. -The saving is about $3, and the hassle and all of the fiddling simply isn't worth it.

Pros: low cost
Cons: poor fit, too short, difficult installation
Vehicle: Audi A3
Part number: 31-13
