Headlamp Wipers

Mar 20th, 2006, 08:42

Hello,

I've been reading various forum threads about the benefits of having headlamp wipers if they work. The thing is mine work but the wiper blades themselves are shot to bits. Do Volvo dealers still sell these and are they expensive?

Volvo dealers should be able to supply these. Haven't had to buy any yet. I doubt if they are very expensive - a lot of 240 parts are now quite cheap from the dealer.

For a 240 try 1247326-0, at my local dealer you are now seated at a table when told the price of parts!

That's been my experience - genuine Volvo parts cost the earth.
Try German French Swedish. I can't remember the price I paid last month, but they were quite cheap.

I got one from German Swedish car parts delivered in 48 hours for around 5 or 6 quid.

I bought a pair from Pilling Volvo last year. Very cheap.

Can you not just buy wiper blade refills and cut them to fit ? such a cheap option and something I`ve done for years.

Yup me too! Just save the refills when you change your windscreen wipers and cut to size for the headlamps.
