[s-cars] Windshield Wiper Question

[Matt Russell]

Good stuff.

One more thing to add: somebody a couple years ago posted p/n's for 
audi TT (IIRC) blades that fit our car perfectly, and retain the cured 
LH wiper along with the "airfoil" to suck it against the windshield.  
They were less than 30 bucks at the stealer...

I was unable to pull up the p/n via a search.  Anyone save this info?
Otherwise, I can go dig through my receipts... 8-)
