How to change wiper blades in your Audi or Porsche
The Parts & Service Department at Prestige Imports can help you with all of your Audi and Porsche needs that pertain to the maintenance and upkeep of your luxury vehicle. But we also realize that, sometimes, you’ll want to “take matters into your own hands,” so to speak. While we recommend that one of our certified-technicians attend to your car, there are a few replacement tasks that you can attempt at home without too much risk to the well-being of your ride.
Replacing your wiper blades, for example, is one such activity. This relatively minor job, as the below videos demonstrate, is quick, easy, and should provide you with any “grease monkey” fix that you feel that you need to fulfill.

Should you change your mind about installing them yourself, we can install them with out an appointment and for no additional charge.

Replacing Porsche Wiper Blades
Replacing the wiper blades of your Porsche vehicle is also a rather easy task. But, having said this, one should be aware of the different styles of blades. The following video, produced by Edmunds.com, clearly outlines all four of the most common varieties:
For example, the below video for the Porsche Cayenne employs a pin-style mechanism to adhere the wiper blade onto the wiper blade arm:
