Audi S6 C6 2007 wiper change
Discussion
OK, so the tab on the side is a total red herring! On my wipers at least, you don't need to push that tab at all - just pull the wiper blade up and away from the screen and it pops off (doesn't slide off).
Also, the recommeded fitment blade for my car at many places is the A017S, but this is not a direct replacement for the blades on my car at all. The connecting mechanism is completely different.
You can however remove the rubber strip that does the actual wiping from the existing arm (just pull it out from one end) and replace it with the strip from the A017S (slide it in from one end), but the A017S does need to be trimmed by about 1/4" in length as it's actually slightly too long for the existing arm!
Anyway, who'd have thought changing wiper blades could be such a faff!

So I'm not going mad then! I couldn't find anything that looked like them when searching for Audi A6 or S6 wiper change videos.
I wonder what the story is with them then?
If the prices of genuine S6 wipers are anything like they are for an R8, the previous owner probably got them from eBay and saved a pile.I wonder what the story is with them then?
