I think I'll do the same with winter coming. Mine are soooo old they are useless... almost 9 months old!

Thanks- a lot better than the coupon I got in the mail from the dealer- coupon was for wiper blades on my 911- $75 (ironically I just changed them, about $10). Without a coupon and for the cayenne they'd probably want about $150 for wipers given the $400 oil change I just had (well, the oil change was really $360 since I had a cayenne coupon).

I can't believe they would change that horse when it was paying so good. $70 for wiper blades that you can buy for less than $30, if I didn't have a conscience, I would go for some of that action.
The only difference that I saw in the first set I bought vs. dealer set was you didn't get the little plastic cover for the end of the wiper arm. Of course, you should be able to reuse the ones on it now.

I wanted to post a quick follow up to this- I went on the autohausaz website and got the blades- what a great site! I also picked up a new muffler for my VW beetle on there- $100 vs $160 at the normal place I buy VW parts online (although autohauaz didn't have everthing the other VW supplier has- had to buy the kit with new bolts, fittings and gaskets for the muffler at the other place)- still what a great site and great prices!
With regards to the cayenne wiper, once I took the 20 seconds to figure out you take the plastic tab off to remove the wiper from the arm, it took me approximately 4-5 seconds to change each wiper. Way cheaper to do it yourself then go to the dealer (at least my dealer...).
Also, because I got the muffler the order was over $50, so shipping was free! Thanks Cap'n Peg Leg!

Received mine yesterday, and about forty seconds to install them. This morning their was no fog along the coast. Maybe I will get a chance to try them out later this week.

We just had some rain yesterday and this morning had a chance to use them and they work great clean and nice and clear no jumping across the windshield. Installed just in time to be able to enjoy them. Here in So. Cal not much rain. Great deal and simple install. If you are thinking about it do it......
