Your local NAPA can get Bosch replacements...I paid $24 for the rear with my discount...neighbor works the counter. Bought OEM front set from Delaware
Porsche Parts for around $43 IIRC. Check them out...they have both an email, and phone number to talk to them before/after you order. Front set part # 955-628-939-11

Bought a pair recently and the only trick is that you will need to slightly modify (snip) the top of each blade wing near the mounting post to make it fit, clear the arm. You will also need to pop off the center black top piece.

Get these PIAA silicone versions that are the proper fit - unbelievable how well they work after using the treatment pack that comes with them on the windshield.
PIAA 97402 Silencio X-TRM Black... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0060YGUMM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
For the rear, buy the proper PIAA silicone replacement insert, slide the OEM rubber blade out of the wiper and insert the replacement.
Rubber was an 80s wiper material The silicone blades work so much better, are quieter, and last 2x to 4x as long.
I have these on all my cars now.

They must be great at $81. I never thought wiper blades would enter the, If money was no object, price point. But then whatever is worthwhile is getting there anyway. After my Bosch expire, I will give them a shot due to longevity payback and the other attributes. Thanks for posting
You have to do the windshield prep and use the treatment packet to get the full benefit though.
When buying inserts for other cars, they don't come with the packet so you have to buy it separately.

have fun. I get the 2.00 ones. Buy like 6 at a time. Spend as little or as much. Had great luck with the private label trico beams. The connector is not exact but why pay 40 for a set?!?!

Did you have to make any alterations for them to fit?
