Image

when I had the suspension just a little too low

James, are those AC Delco wiper blades? If so, how is the quality?

Bought one for mine and after a week it is wiping worse than year old traditional model, quite huge disappointment as AC Delco has usually been good brand with other parts.

I spot missing piece of A-pillar, is that some kind of tradition? :lol:

Hi Jani,

No, they're Bosch Aero-Twin retro-fit blades - see here. They fit the normal 'old style' arms. They're excellent...not cheap, but a nice little luxury.

cheers

Thanks, might try those next as AC Delco seem to be rather crap in wiper blades.

Y'know I still haven't needed to replace the ones on the S70 either... seem to be lasting ages so far!

This topic is difficult to find as search engine omits words like Volvo and Other as them being too common :lol:

Stupid grab the link function not working on flicr, they should just give out the address like everyone else.

Anyway here is some nice Volvo:

It would seem most of my original pics for the thread have disappeared, must have been when trying to organise my bucket of photo's.

Anyway some cool Volvo's i've found while trawling the nets :D
