Wiper blades rainx or OEM Volvo

Have you tried getting them directly from volvo? They are pretty on par with blades in my area.

I swear by Rain-X silicone blades. I also treat my glass with Rain-X repellent, and this ends up extending the life of my blades ten fold.

Rain-X® Silicone AdvantEdge

I very recently swapped the stock wiper blades to Rain-X latitude and it's made a noticeable difference.

Rain-X, all the way, forever and for always.

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.

Dealer replaced the blades, but it didn’t help. The replacement blade they used looks expensive, it has the washer tube built in.

Don't get the RainX brand. $80 for smudgy messes. I've even replaced the windshield and applied aquapel. My windshield is clear and gorgeous as long as I don't use the wipers. Water beads and rolls off on its own most of the time but once I run the wipers I have a smudged mess ia can't see through for the rest of the trip.

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

I just got some rainx silicon and the wipers are good but holy fuck installation was a pain in the ass. Took 90 minutes just to change wipers. Thought I was an idiot but a lot of people had that problem with those wipers. For that reason I can’t recommend them
