HI all
I have explained a problem with the heater fan in my previous massage – another question - My wiper blades doesn't run smoothly - it looks to me that there is too much grip on the wind shield and apart of the not pleasant noise when they are working there is always water traces on the wind shield- I have changed to new once with graphite coat - improved a bit but after 4-6 weeks same again - anyone experienced with such a problem?
Thanks again!
Kamen

    I seldom use the wipers, prefering RainX which lets the water just stream off.

    Let the wipers work for about 5-10 minutes when it is raining a lot to wear off the gunk that the sun has built up on the blades. Or use soap and water and wash the bottom of the blades until the cloth no longer has black marks on it.

    I had this problem when I tried to use replacement rubber blades in the existing arms. The replacements were too wide and, I think, the edges occasionally caught on the glass and caused the blade to jump up. The only solution I can suggest is the expensive one: buy new stock Volvo blades. That solved the trick for me. The stock ones last 2 or 3 years despite the intense summer sun.
