Anyone?? !!!

Never installed those personally so I can't comment on whether they're compatible with your wiper arms. Anyone know something about the B6 A4 I don't?

I usually get the refills instead of replacing the wipers...

You'll need wiper arms from Audi. It's a different size and all the regular wipers don't fit.

Damn!! so why the hell does it say that it will fit..according to the web site...
do you think I can return them back to crappy tire???

Yes, take them back. When Canadian tire measures size I think they're just looking at the wiper blade length and not the fitment of the actual parts. But don't worry too much, Audi Wipers are only $15 each so it's comparable to CDN Tire prices. Also, when your at the dealer tell them you want one for the drivers side and passenger side. Believe it or not, they're a bit different. Strange, but true.....

OEM wipers are the best 18 dollars you'll spend

This is good to know as a new Audi owner. Now I won't waste my time at Cdn Tire

I had the same problem with my wipers - bought from Cdn Tire, said it will fit, but it does not. I went to Independant Tuning and there was a change in the year of my car, so did not work - different system to connect. I bought the wipers from Independant Tuning, works perfect.

I just came here to ask the exact same question! So thanks.

And I guess I have to bring back the wipers to Crappy Tire now... hopefully I can find the receipt!!
