Get Bosch Icon wipers. Best wiper I've ever used. Although they are a bit pricey they're worth it!

I have had a very rough time finding non-Audi wipers to fit the wiper arm. I've gone everywhere (Pep Boys, Jiffy Lube, etc) and the wipers will always come up in their computers as saying they will fit on the A4, but they never actually do. I even went to Pep Boys and they tried fitting them themselves and ended up breaking the little plastic piece that connects the wiper arm to the wiper blade. It seems as though that connection is the problem that most after-market wiper blades do not accommodate to.

Changing just the rubbers, also called inserts or wiper inserts,its a good option, but be prepared to be frustrated. They are kinda tricky to put on the first couple times you do it. Start by pulling the rubber off the wiper. Carefull of the two metal spring strips. They are sharp and can cut your fingers. Place the spring stips into the new insert. The notched side of the spring will fit into a slot in the insert. Start slinding the new insert and old sping into the wiper blade. If it is tight use a screwdriver to pry the clamping portion of the wiper blade apart. Once you get the new insert in all the way( you will know because the last part of the insert will have a slot that fits into the clamping part on the blade) crimp the clamping part so the new inserts wont fly off.
