Solution for me:- I put the old Bosch aeroblades back on that i kept in the new Volvo box.

No problems since. I think you can still buy a single Bosch blade rather than a pair - got to be worth a go if you've tried everything else?
Just going back over this thread whilst I compose an email to the SMMT.....I dont think those blades are the same as the Valeo ones with integrated washer holes..... are they ? my car is a late 2023 model
