RE: Winter Wiper Blades

["Geoff Jenkins" <jenkinsg@pilot.msu.edu>]

The same thing's true with the S-cars. The dealer sells an Autobahn one with
the correct fittings for just about any VW/Audi. The cost was about $16 as I
recall, vs. $7 for the Anco ones. Still, they do work, and they last a
decent length of time if you're careful not to tear the rubber cover.
