I contacted my Volvo dealer 3 months ago for replacement whipper blades. The parts manager explained that the replacement part is defective. It "wobbles" on the windshield. He said to wait 2 months for new one. I contacted him a week ago and the problem was still there. I went to the dealer and the service manager put a set on my car and showed me how they will wobble and fall off. I contacted Volvo USA and was told "they know about the problem, but are not making any changes. " they felt they would only fall off if the wiper was lifted from the windshield like for cleaning.
