Product Details

Valeo’s Ultimate Beam Original Specific line focuses on OE-oriented fit and function for vehicles that require a beam-style blade rather than a conventional framed design. The 22G1 uses a beam construction to maintain even pressure along the windshield, which is important on Audi platforms such as the A4, A6, S4, S6, Allroad Quattro, and RS4. This makes it a practical choice when replacing a front windshield wiper blade on vehicles equipped with the Top Lock Gen 1 arm interface.

This part cross-references Audi OE numbers 4B1955425A and 8E1955425A for the same application. The Valeo 22G1 is also listed against additional OE and aftermarket references, making it easier to match the correct blade when verifying an existing part number.

What It Helps Address

• Streaking caused by a worn rubber wiping edge
• Uneven windshield contact from an aging blade assembly
• Noise from a blade that no longer tracks smoothly
• Poor visibility in rain or road spray
• Fitment issues when replacing a Top Lock Gen 1 Audi wiper blade

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s front position, blade length, and connector style before installation. This blade is specified for 22-inch applications with a Top Lock Gen 1 connector, and fitment varies by model and side. For example, it fits 2003-2009 Audi A4, front left; 2004-2008 Audi A4, front right; 2002-2005 Audi A6, front left and front right; 2004-2008 Audi S4, front left and front right; 2002-2004 Audi S6, front left and front right; 2004-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro, front left and front right; 2007-2008 Audi RS4, front left and front right; and 2001-2003 Audi Allroad Quattro, front.

Before installation, inspect the wiper arm for wear and verify that the connector locks securely. Proper alignment helps the blade maintain full windshield contact and consistent wipe performance.
