Wiper blades Tesla or OEM Volvo
Exactly 12 months on my 19 S60 blades. So far still good.
Pros: still good after 12 months
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
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
Replaced the blades and nothing changed. Got through one winter of ridiculous streaking and brought the issue up again with the dealer. They replaced both wipers fully under warranty and in rain the streaking is gone.
Pros: streaking is gone
Cons: ridiculous streaking
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Model Y wipers pretty shit in cold weather?
I live in Canada (Ontario) and in the warmer weather, they seem to work amazing but once it gets cold… not that great.
Pros: work amazing in warm weather
Cons: shit in cold weather, not great in cold
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
I decided to just be a schnook and ordered a set from Tesla. But it is annoying that their wipers are a bit different and then there are side issues beyond fit, like not interfering with the sprayer nozzle.
Cons: different design, interferes with nozzle
Had Tesla replace my wipers during a service visit for the same reason. They were horrible compared to my other cars. Obviously, replaced with the same garbage. So I thoroughly cleaned the windshield, which helped, but it seems once it gets grime on it, the wipers performance goes down.
Pros: cleaning windshield helped
Cons: horrible compared other cars
Not a surprise considered how shit M3/Y wipers are. Not even the auto wipe which is atrocious but also all the wiper fluid gets shot out to the left and wasted and doesn’t actually clean and then the driver window gets streaks of fluid
Cons: poor cleaning, auto wipe atrocious, fluid wasted, streaks
