XC60 wipers OEM or aftermarket?
So as weather gets worse my 2 year old wipers aren’t doing a great job. Particularly the drivers side. Normal wear to need replacing after 2 years?
Replace with Volvo parts or aftermarket? Any recommendations? |

Bosch*A089S*Aerotwin*Flat*Windscreen*Wiper*Blades* from wiperblades.couk
Less than half the price and just as good (and very easy to fit without any fiddly loose parts) |

Bosch, as mentioned, or Valeo Silencio (VF448). I use Valeo usually on a good deal from EuroCarParts.

I was quoted £140 + vat by my dealer for new front wiper blades so I bought the Bosch ones off eBay for £22 !!

Hmm might take them off and have a look the drivers side is smearing right across eye line but where it meets the passenger one the passenger one is clearing.....

I can recommend Valeo Silencio, used them now for several years and they work well and are silent.
