Wiper blades ANCO or OEM Volvo

I've been buying Anco Contours recently. They're dirt cheap on Rock Auto and perform well. I used to change out the "standard" ones i used 2x a year, the Contours are lasting over a year so far.

I haven’t had issues with mine. When I do use them, no streaking.

Exactly 12 months on my 19 S60 blades. So far still good.

For the money anco contour are my go to.

I've been using Anco C-24-SB Contour for the LH side and Anco C-21-SB Contour for the RH side. Those fit great and the only modification needed is to trim about 1/2" off the rubber spoiler next to the attachment point so it clears the wiper arm.

I’ve had my current oem Volvo wipers (bought the car used) for almost 3 years. Through east coast winters too. They still work great. No sounds or streaks at all. 50k+ miles without replacement

While the blades weren’t great, they were skipping across the windshield, especially in lighter rain. The tension was WAY off and after the tech adjusted it, I’ve been pretty solid the last 8 months. It works with the washer fluid or a car wash just fine.

This is the single biggest issue I’ve had with them. It makes driving at night in the rain a hazard. It has always smeared right across the driver’s line of sight.

The wipers barely clean and leave a smear. I changed blades and it's the same problem.

Dealer then replaced them and that worked, then started streaking again. It's just a hassle always returning them or going to the dealer.
