Wiper blades OEM Volkswagen or OEM Volvo
Reviews
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
Pros: work great, no sounds, no streaks
Vehicle:
Volvo
Mileage: 80467 km
The oem volvo ones are all I've found, I just settled on those for my s90 cuz the guys at auto zone gave up trying everything that claimed it would fit...
Pros: reliable fitment
Vehicle:
Volvo S90
I've had my 2019 S since May, 2018. The original wipers wiped OK, but began to get noisy a few months ago. We just went into the rain season here, so I replaced them with new from a VW dealer in San Antonio TX. The new ones are dead silent and wipe cleanly and completely.
Pros: dead silent, wipe cleanly
Cons: original wipers noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.
Pros: keeps blade's edge healthy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
The best experience I have made with the original wipers. I know, they are dearer than those in the aftermarket, but at least they clean 2 years without squeaking, skipping and so on. Those from the Mk4s can also be used on the Mk3.
Pros: clean 2 years without squeaking, no skipping
Cons: dearer than aftermarket
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My stock ones clean well, but they squeak like none other.
Pros: clean well
Cons: squeak loudly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I also lost the driver's side wiper at speed on the NJ Turnpike. The problem was a slightly bent (or misaligned) metal pin that holds the wiper blade to the arm. It was twisted slightly out of position and the wiper flew off, since the plastic cover no longer fit completely over the center of the blade. The solution was having my dealer twist the pin back into place.
Pros: dealer fixed the issue
Cons: wiper flew off
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
Dealer then replaced them and that worked, then started streaking again. It's just a hassle always returning them or going to the dealer.
Pros: worked initially
Cons: started streaking again, hassle to replace
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Wipers on a brand new V90 CC 2024 were bad from the dealership.
Cons: bad from dealership
Vehicle:
Volvo V90
New blades makes it better for a little while, but it's not long before the driver's side in particular streaks and doesn't make contact very well.
Pros: better for a while
Cons: streaks, poor contact
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
