You pretty much have to have your heat and fan set to max on your windshield with your wipers going constantly. That’s how I managed to keep my wipers from freezing up in a winter storm. And this was with a Volkswagen Jetta.
Have you tried getting them directly from volvo? They are pretty on par with blades in my area.
Second they said that she needed a new rear window wiper blade. The cost for this? $67 or so. I bought a new one at the local auto parts store for $10.85. A 13mm wrench and 10min later and that was on.
living in fl, I've tried them all, oem VW blades from the parts dept are the best.
2018 XC90 - assembled (I think) in Belgium. Some minor annoyances - wipers don't seem to adequately clear water on one side (as if not pressed against glass tight enough) but they are all one big assembly so needed to replace both stalks entirely because the washer nozzles are integrated in the wipers themselves -- just too complex a design.
I love it — but I’ve found that dirty/smudgy windows cause it to go wonky and full speed. I also have a tension issue with my wipers every now and then where the slower speed skips across the window when it return down to the bottom.
But Mercedes and volkswagen have a special place in hell for proprietary fucking wiper blades… i mean come on
Also replaced the wipers because the ones that come with the car suck.
the heat hasn't gotten mine yet, but they were never great to begin with...and I've seen others complain the same.
I got my EX30 about 4 months ago and the wipers that came with it already damaged from the Dubai heat. Volvo quoted me $150 to replace them, which feels crazy if they’re just the same weak wipers.
