Did you ever wonder WHY.....

Postby BrianC70 » Fri Mar 05, 2010 6:23 pm

That ONLY the driver side windshield wiper on an '03 S60 has a formed U-shaped channel to (I suppose) cause a downdraft on the wiper blade while driving, and increase pressure of the blade against the window? :? HMMMMM, wonder why ALL Volvo wiper blades on BOTH sides of the car, don't have this feature! What a great idea!

What do YOU wonder about YOUR Volvo?

I can only think that it is to save money. They figure the passenger side does not matter because the person sitting there is not driving.

LOL, well, that is a whole different story.

"Honey, I can't see out my side of the windshield again." LOL
