[s-cars] 1995 S6 Wiper Arm upgrade

[Jay M]

Good evening all,

 

We had about 8" of snow and sleet last night and it made a beautiful night for driving through the rolling hills. Only problem I had was my wipers were extremely ineffcient in clearing the windshied of snow and water. Driver'side wiper  (equipped with a brand new Michelin Stealth wiper blade) was not making contact with the left side of my windshield and made driving visibilty very difficult. This seems to happen on every C4 I have had.

 

I have read in the forums of fillng down the back of the wiper arm so the angle of the arm makes bettre contact with windshield. Tried that; no improvement. Also tried to bend the arm to compensate for weak springs in the arm; no improvement. Besides buying a new OEM wiper arm for about $85.00 is there a better wiper blade arm from another Audi model that will fit and work in my UrS6 and eliminate this problem once and for all? Anybody who has BTDT with an OEM or aftermarket solution please feel free to chime in. 

 

Thanks,

 

JB
