Wiper blades

[s111dpc]

I need a set of new wipers and I seem to recall one of you guys on here mentioning a ‘hack’ using a Volvo set but can’t for the life of me find it now - anyone remember this, or am I dreaming it?!

TIA

Thanks chaps, I’ve bit the bullet and ordered the Volvo replacement blades for £27 - will let you know how I get on.

This is what I discovered - Not sure if anyone has actually managed to verify it, and some time has passed since March 2021 (and posted in the RAOC site link attached...)
Interested to know if these are now UK available ( Valeo said no previously) and will fit.

Valeo Silencio Hydroconnect blades.

I’m probably doing something wrong but I can’t get those links to work?

Just to confirm the Volvo replacement blades work a treat. They are both a little long so need trimming down to size, but are the exact same fit otherwise

The original Alpine caps were plain and didn’t have Alpine of the flying A on them, so rather than risk breaking them (which I’m prone to do!) I just fitted the Volvo ones.
