A co-worker just bought a 2002 A6 and needs to replace the wiper blades with refills. The new design, although really clean and cool looking, is totally new to me and I can't figure out how to remove the existing rubber. We are hoping that the blade in the channel is standard but will not know until it is out. She did not get a owner's manual with the car.
Any one out there have a newer Audi with the new blades or know how they come out? Thanks, Jeff |

QUOTE(partsman @ Nov 5 2004, 07:25 PM) Nope, sorry...you cannot replace the rubber on a 02 a6, or a4 for that matter. You have to replace the whole blade. Trust me, I sell them all day at work for I am: PARTSMAN (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) ( parts manager for a Audi/Porsche dealership by day, and somewhat confused 914 restorer by night) Thanks for the info. I bet that isn't cheap. I'll give her the bad news. QUOTE(smrz914 @ Nov 5 2004, 08:48 PM) Can you go get a manual for the car? Or ask the dealer how? I find people at dealers pretty helpful. You don't have to buy anything there either. She is working on a manual and will follow up with the dealer. She had already purchased some refills and we were trying to figure out how they went. QUOTE(grantsfo @ Nov 6 2004, 12:16 PM) Thats a good question. With free servicing I havent had to touch my 2002 A4. They replaced my wipers last time I was in for free scheduled maitenance. Lucky you. QUOTE(kwales @ Posted on Nov 6 2004, 06:13 PM) I just use the sawzall to get them off.... And the welder to put the new ones on... If it were my car.... Thanks for all of the replies. -Jeff |
