Wiper blades ANCO or OEM Volvo
I recently installed these $2.50 CAD wipers on my car.... And they are perfect...[ANCO 14C]
The current wipers on my car, the ultra economical (ANCO 14C) - I would give them a 9 out of 10 rating, functionally they are perfect, they are just slightly uglier than the HYBRID TRICO 26-1HB
I just ordered a pair of ANCO Contours for my F250 - under $25. Reviews suggest I'll get at least two seasons out of them.
Have you tried getting them directly from volvo? They are pretty on par with blades in my area.
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.
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.

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