The only front wiper blade I can get that is the correct size and will snap in correctly is from the toyota dealer. I am in florida and get about 1 a year.
I got some Anco wiper blades for my mk3 jetta, I got them on rock auto for about $2 each. They're the high performance ones, I don't remember which ones though. They don't skip like the Bosch ones I had on it before did.
Oh yeah I fixed the dead wipers and rear defroster. Broken wires to the hatch.
I got ANCO 31 series blades from Amazon for like $8. They are working fine.
I buy ANCO blades off amazon. 5-8 bucks per blade. If its compatible with your car, its good for the price.
I bought these recently and they clipped in without any problems. They seem to work pretty well, too.
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
The fix was two new decent blades. Anco worked great for me. $26 from Amazon and it's done.
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.
