Default lesson learned on replacing wiper blades on Audi A4

I recently replaced the wiper blade refills on my 03 Audi A4. The little clip that holds the blade in place is plastic and was pretty tough to release on my car. Well, I pulled on the blade before the plastic clip was fully released and I broke it. Why is this stupid thing plastic? Anyway, now the only thing holding the blade in place is the spring pressing it against the windshield in the closed position. I fear that when I use them that the blade will pop out and the windshield will get scratched. Does anyone know if that plastic clip can be replaced, or am I going to have to replace the whole arm? Audi would love to get more of my money and teach me to leave the work to their professionals!

Thanks,

Welcome to the Forums. Last year I learned the same lesson when the clip broke while replacing the filler. Unfortunately you cannot replace just the clip, you'll have to replace the whole arm. Good luck
