source for "OEM" style VW wipers?

I have a 2005.5 Jetta 2.5L. The windshield wipers have a proprietary
connector design and I can't replace them with standard ones. So, I
have two questions:

1. Other than my dealer, Can anyone recommend a good source for those
non-standard blades?

2. Alternatively, would it be difficult to replace the wiper arms
with ones that have a standard connector? How expensive would they
be?

1stvwparts.com has them for $11.70 each. They don't seem to list just
the rubber, though.
