Default Does your wiper arm look like this?

I just purchased some Valeo wiper blades (model 900-22-5B), but they do not fit. Valeo indicates they are the correct blades for my car, so I'm wondering if there is more than one wiper arm design for our cars. Can anyone recommend blades, other than OEM, that fit this type of arm?

Thanks G Man. I had seen that post, and I think I'll give that a try.

Don't bother replacing the rubber it's not worth the trouble, just buy the Aero blade with mount.

Here's the link to a APSS. They are reasonable.

Are those Bosch wipers or made by someone else, will they fit a 08 A6?

I ended up just getting the replacment rubber blades, and switching them out myself. It literally took 5 minutes. I got 4 blade rubbers for $23 with shipping from PartsGeek, which ends up being only $6 per side. Thanks to all that replied!
