Default Audi A8L Wiper Blade Info?

Just purchased a 2004 CPO A8L and love the car. Drove through a snow storm and was pleased with the way it handled. My only complaint are the wiper blades. Useless in the snow. Went to the dealer and they said Audi doesn't make a winter blade. Is this true? The blade mounts in a non conventional manner so stock after-market blades are out. Any help in finding winter blades or blades that work in snow and ice would be appreciated.

You may have the original blades. Replace them with new rubber.

I was also disappointed that there is no winter option for wiper blades. The car just begs to be driven in bad weather but the wipers can't handle any decent amount of snow. The snow builds up almost immediately where tha arm meets the blade which is right in the center of your line of sight-very disappointing in my book. These blades are touted as "all weather". What a joke.
