I've a new shape 2017 Q5 and need new front wiper blades.  The usual websites don't reference the new model, therefore my question is can I use the previous generation wiper blades on my new shape Q5?  Thanks in advance.

Hi m8

Thanks for the reply, I’ve done that and it says no product found 

best bet would be to call audi and ask if older model wipers are the same size and fixing as on the newer model 

Measure the length of each wiper. See if it's say 24". If the wiper sets for the previous model are the same use them. If not buy the correct length of the exact same brand. I doubt very much that the actual fittings are different as I have not heard of any others introduced to the market recently. 

I always use Halfords for wiper blades but I do have a discount card!!
