Can anyone tell me where I can pick up wiper blades for a 2003 passat?
These are the one piece euroblade that the dlr is asking over $80 for the pair--ouch!
Are there any refill replacements that will fit or can be retrofitted on to the wipers?

I am also looking for another source for blades for my 2003 Passat wagon. I just googled the part number "3B1955426" (imprinted on one of the blades) and had some interesting results.

There were only 7 hits all of which are Russian car dealers who post part numbers and price (530 rouple -- $19US).

My question is: why are the Russians the only ones to post part numbers? Does VW discourage their dealerships from publishing part numbers so people won't be able to do what I did and save money by buying elsewhere?

And the obvious question has anyone found a less expensive source for Euroblades?

I found a set for my wifes New Beetle with the Air deflectoe and silver in color to match her car at Walmart.

concerning euro blades, if one is patient a standard genuine wiper refill can be fitted to a euroblade. take a close look and have a play and you will find it will save you a packet. good luck

If the car is under warranty the dealer will replace the blades for free. At least, they did for me.
