I've switched to AM, OEM is a killer, usually I buy a pack at BJ's or off the shelf Bosch blades matching the ar. Usually the Plastic wind diverter fits right on, plug'n play.

Which is not a bad idea. I am planing to do that in very nearest future.
Actually you will need change not only an arm, but and eclectic motor as well. (Check by ETKA) They are different for >2003.
Alternatively, it is passable to make an adapter to install PIAA blades with the current arm. Unfortunately, I don have an equipment here in US. This summer I will take a vacation to Ukraine. I will try to make this adapter.

that is the rubber that fits the early wipers on most audis
the aero wipers 4b1-955-425-b are non-reloadable... I have taken them apart before. The fin section on the top of the blade is one piece with the actual wiping blade portion.
There is one other common wiper refill 1j0-955-429-a which fits the 8e1-955-425-a and 8e0-955-425-a blades found on the b6 with a little coaxing. The 1j0 inserts also fit the C6 A6 wipers.
