Wiper blades OEM Mazda or OEM Volvo

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

live in rainy portland, oregon they work perfect

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

Buy new ones. I replace mine about twice a year.

sometimes I think it gets itself into a feedback loop. It's like the sensor detects the wiper itself as rain and speeds up, which will lead the sensor to detect the wiper again and speeds up further. Now thinking about it; I don't think I have had this issue recently and I did change the wiper blades in the spring, so maybe that helped.

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.

I personally hate the Volvo blades as they are shot in 6 months

I have a V60 T8 and I absolutely despise the wipers. The automatic function is completely worthless. But the biggest problem is that the wipers don't actually wipe very well. Very streaky, even with new blades and a spotless windshield. And the wash function does nothing.

Mazdas wiper blades suck and constantly get recalled

Dealership/official Mazda service basically gave me a middle finger. So new car, issue since first rain. They said that they've put a replacement rubber for free and that it's normal for it to make sounds. Nothing more they can do :D In case you're wondering, it's acceptable that your new car even with replaced blades sounds like 30y old rusty from your local junk yard. Such a shitty experience. My first and last Mazda. It's too much work apparently to replace the wiper itself under warranty or at least investigate (since the issue is gone at higher speeds >> could indicate faulty spring/wrong pressure).
