V60 Aquablades?

Has anyone replaced their heated aquablades on a V60 yet? Mine are streaky as hell so I think I am gonna have to bite the bullet....just wondering what the damage was £££?

You can replace just the rubber blade inserts for around £35 rather than near enough £100 for the entire blade assembly. Have a word with your local dealer.

Yeah that’s what I was going for, just the rubber part that clips in, not the arm as well....

Unfortunately those are just standard aero blades, not the aqua blades where the water comes out of the blade; and are heated.

My aquablades on the V90 are just standard blades - the water jets are positioned on the wiper arms so easy to switch,

Not sure how they are on the V60

The V60 has true Aquablades as design by Valeo, the water comes out of little holes in the blades themselves and only on the sweep. What you have are aeroblades, no fluid through them.

Just to throw this into the mix. MY68 V90 R Design D5 AWD has the heated aquablades, think it's to do with having the winter pack option on the car.

I also have the heated Aqua blades with the many holes the length of each blade. However, half of them are blocked currently (they're barely used to be honest) but I would like to unblock them somehow!

One method that's worked to some extent for me is to use a can of compressed air.
