Hi

Its annoying, isn't it? I use Bosch ones as I am able to buy them for just over 6 quid each. But I think that your arms aren't square to the screen.

Have a look:

Had mine changed by the Volvo dealer at a service 2 months ago, around £30, not much more than Bosch ones from Halfords. Other posters are right, the Bosch ones wear out very quickly. One area where Volvo original parts are the better option.

Well an RAC ad on the radio says you should use a cloth and wipe the wiper blades with vinegar!
