Wiper blades MICHELIN or ANCO

Anco C-24-N: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQZ92UQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anco C-19-N: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQZAYC6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are the ones I bought for my '14 GLI and they both clipped in exactly like the OEM ones. Took me 10 seconds to install them. Easiest blades I've ever installed on a car!

I found direct replacements at Advance Auto...Michelene Ultra Stealths. Kind of pricey as I recall but I'm happy.

I have the Michelin stealth (we just started selling them) and I like them better than the rain x beam blade wipers, they seem to go longer without streaking.

Heck I buy the Cheap $4-5 walmart Anco wipers. I Washington you'll burn through a pair of wipers in less than 3-4 months. I forked over $30+ for a set of those bosch Icons, took them back the same day. They only would wipe the first inch of the wiper ends. My Corrado windshield and crappy wiper arm design just make pay $$$ for wipers a stupid investment when the $4-5 ones do better than spendier options.

The Michelin Stealth are quite good.

The Rain-X wipers kind of suck however.

They fit perfectly - the only aftermarket sets I've used that fit both my B6 and the wifes B5 - they seem to work well so far.

I picked up a set from Anco for my Si for $16 at Rockauto. They're great.

I had replaced the factory refills with new ANCO refill blades for $8.00 (p/pair), after that, no chatter just smooth sailing.

After having these for a couple months I wouldn't recommend them. They are better than stock, but only barely.

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.
