I commute from reno to carson so I run the washoe valley gauntlet daily and I love mine. Your bad experience must have been due to the poor springs. Mine wipe so well I haven't had to put a washer reservoir in yet, they wipe the dirty road grime clean. I had washer issues once I had to put that stupid air pump in where the bottle is supposed to go...stupid air pump. Trying to find a small, square reservoir and pump to install next to my half sized battery...
As far as getting affordable wiper inserts, I've taken a printout of a shopping cart from an online vendor into some local dealers and express my intentions of keeping my purchases local if they can match the price. I have yet to be let down...and if they can't match it, they come close enough to still make it worth not ordering online. I've heard audi is really proud of their stuff though, so it may be a hard sell but worth a shot. Worst thing they can do is say no.
