Hi folks, Im having some trouble getting these silicone wipers on my car. They are definitely the correct wipers, piaa si-tech, cost a pretty penny as well...

I believe this B type adaptor to be the correct one, I can put it on the wiper blade no problems but installing them on the car is another thing...

Has anyone done this before...

My car is a 2009 Volvo S40 R-Design Sport and believe the arm is PTB fitment and that the B-Type adaptor in the above link is what I need...

My 08 RDesign has the B type clips, and you just push the little button and the pop off.

Should be dead simple, or are you after advice on how to put the adapter clip onto the wiper?

Yes the original wipers come off so so easy...

These Piaa wipers are not as easy, can't seem to get them on my wiper arms. I've tried all 3 adaptors that come with them

I used the type A, not the best fitting in the world though!
Can take a better picture when it's daylight if needed.

Wow! That doesn't look right, I mean, the wiper isn't even in line with the arm. I thought for sure the a type was for the u hook arm...

Still waiting on Piaa getting back to me, absolute joke.

They line up,just looks that way as I had to crop the pic to allow me to post.
Cannot see how else they would have fitted and they work so are fit for purpose.
For the price I would have thought there would be proper fittings though.
