I must not be using the right phrase with Tire Rack. They're saying that they don't have any of the following Valeo wipers:
- 26"
- VW Touareg
- Porsche Cayenne
Is there some code word or phrase I should use?

Thanks.
You weren't kidding about that disappearing act. By the time I got there I had to click around a bit to get a button to add them to cart for $10ish more.
I ended up going with Jeff at Sunset Imports. They ended up being more than the elusive TireRack ones but less than Drivewire.
I just hope these wipers are better than the original ones.

I've been a TireRack customer for many, many years but this isn't the first time they've 'failed' me. I'm beginning to think they're slipping.
I went round and round with TireRack over a two week period recently. I was just trying to order a replacement TPMS sensor for an after market system purchased from them a two years back. They told me on different calls that the system had been discontinued. I thought this was strange since both they and the vendor still listed the complete system on their web sites. It appears that the reality is that TireRack just isn't carrying items or ordering from that vendor any more.

There was an initial issue with wiper quality (very early TSB), most were replaced under warranty as a sign of Peter the Great throwing the peasants a bit of bread....
The latest TSB 'fixes' the wiper by bending the arm to adjust angle of attack....Peter the Great didn't feel like springing for new 'adjusted' wiper arms.

I'd see if you could move up to the turbo. I've got 37,000 miles on my 2004 twin turbo and it not only still drives like new but continues to draw favorable comments from strangers. I'm due for a new car but can't find anything I like better for a daily driver. I live in Rochester NY so the phenomenal AWD is a big plus for me but I love the power and handling the most. The S is nice but the turbo is awesome.
