Besides the ABS, what about the Wiper? 850 1996

OK, the other complain I have seen is that the driver's side windsheild wiper loses contact and works poorly. Any easy fixes? Can you just bend the arm? What have people done to solve that one?

I've found that the VolvoSpeed trick only works temporarily. A more complete fix is to file down the two small contact spots on the stationary part of the wiper arm. Flip up the wiper and note the two areas where there is contact underneath. A small file or Dremel tool will solve the problem permanently.
