XC-70 wiper issues

Post by arbop »

I have a 2005 XC-70, and here in snowy Central New York, I find that snow will build up on the blade, to the point of where it will affect the ability of the wipers to clear the windshield. Does anyone have any suggestions? The wiper arms, and blades, are stock. Thanks for all of your help!

Nope, the newer flat blades are weak, they suck.
You may want to find a better after market blade and try that.
Try the Valeo blades
