Interesting, so just to clarify, are you saying brand new whole wiper arm assemblies 'slap' on reverse once deteriorated or just when using the new inserts? How much were the complete Bosch units?

I took the rubber inserts out and reversed them when fitting back in. It`s like having new . Try it. A no cost fix!!!!

I guess the deterioration is from wiping up and taking the dirt away whereas on the reverse wipe it's pure clean glass. How long have/did yours last after doing this?

Bought some genuine Volvo blades on eBay for my 2016 XC90, cost me about £45 for the pair of front blades

Does yours have the water jet perforations running up the arm or does it spray a jet onto the windscreen? Are yours heated?

Been using Bosch wipers for 40-odd years after trying various other makes on various other cars. Good for about 3 years with our sort of low mileage motoring.

Same question to you based on the car stated at the bottom of your signature, does yours have the water jet perforations running up the arm or does it spray a jet onto the windscreen? Are yours heated?

Hi - sorry for the late reply. Mine are just the conventional setup with nozzles in the bonnet. Unsure whether heated but can check.
