Volvo S60 windscreen wiper Issue

Harry S · Feb 17th, 2022, 16:41

Hey there. Trust everyone is well?
I have a problem that is driving me crazy. I have a 2011 S60 D3. The driver side windscreen wiper leaves a wide blurry line when it rains. Its right in your line of vision and is irritating as hell (and you can't see).
I have replaced the window, I have replaced the wiperblades three times and I have now replaced the actual wiper arm and the problem persists.
Please.can anyone direct me in the right direction? Anyone had the same problem and could sort it out? I'm at my wits end

Got a photograph to show the contour of the line? I'm assuming you used original Volvo wiper arms? I would also check for movement in the wiper linkage. The bushings can wear causing the blade to not make a clean sweep.

That is great advice. Had that on a previous car.

If that doesn't fix it, then don't drive it in the rain
