Major complaint

Trico blades
I would love to get winter blades, but the reviews of the Trico Ice on Amazon are lukewarm at best (too stiff so they don't clear completely, don't mount easily, etc.). Anybody else have any experience with them, bad or good (Sevarino, I assume your experience is good)?
Yes - but I did have to grind down a bit of the plastic on the blade adapter t get it to click into the Audi metal arm. They have cleared the windshield well.

fyi From my original post the wipers/blades aren't the issue but about the inability of the defroster to keep the windshield clear of icing.

Also for the defroster - you can't have defroster AND cabin heating? I've never heard of another car done that way . Just like the rear defroster, thought you just turn it on when needed...

In today's Audis, the automatic climate control will determine when to direct warm air to the defroster and other vents when in the "Auto" position. However, if you select "Defrost", all the air flow will be directed to the defroster vents. You can also override which of the three zone vents you wish by selecting the air flows manually with the climate control fan buttons. The rear defroster only turns on the heating wires in the rear window.
