    I have a 2004 Volvo 780 and am having a terrible time with the wiper blades, particularly on the drivers side not wiping clean. Got a new arm, new blade and it's the same thing. Got another set of blades, same thing. In the snow it's ridiculous, it totally loads up on the drivers side within a mile and you can't see at all. I do need to get winter blades, but nevertheless, this is crazy. Anybody else have this problem and if so is there a solution????:biggrin_2551:

    Got a 2012 had the same problem. Changed wiper arm once and blades 3 times and finally got one that worked. ( Incidently it was the drivers side as well )Just went to Wally World and got the winter wiper blades, went with the 20" instead of 22" and it seemed to work. I just kept changing until one worked.

    That makes a big difference, especially with winter blades. The wind wants to lift them because of the extra surface area.
