Boring topic but does anyone know which brand makes them for the Macan?

I assume P buy them in and white label them at 3x the cost, so wanted to buy some myself.

I replaced mine with Bosch:

Front: Bosch A298S Aerotwin Wiper Blades

Rear: Bosch A381H Wiper Blade (however this is slightly shorter than Porsche original, hence the US forum suggest fitting Bosch A402H)

Daft question - but Warranty implications? I've been picked up before for having non-Porsche bulbs and exhaust clamps though it wasn't a Warranty issue, just an inspection

I have used Bosch for years and it was never picked up until Bosch started putting their name on the tips.

Good to know. Had my Boxster inspected (for free) and couldn't believe the items flagged up; sure wipers were included, plus battery, bulbs and stainless steel exhaust clamps

Just keep the old wipers and swap them back if you are worried about warranty. They fit in a couple of minutes.

Thanks, will buy a set of those for front

For some reason Bosch I fitted to the RS4 were never as good as what Audi fitted
