I looked at the arm and can see in one side of the underside a little metal tab sticking out about 1mm - 1.5mm square that is blocking the fitment of these wipers. I thought this was just a spurious piece of metal but looking on both arms it seems to be a conscious design to force a particular type of fitment.
Anyone fit these wipers? I am half tempted to file down/remove that metal tab.

I looked at these wipers but realised they were not a standard fit even with the adapters supplied. I went to the Volvo parts guys at FRF and got all 3 wiper blades for my XC60 for £39.43 included the dreaded vat and postage. Delivered in 2 days and a standard fit.
