I am having a lot of difficulty with the wiper blades falling off the headlight wiper arm on my 2002 S60 AWD (it comes with the cold weather package).

I carefully attach the blades, and test them repeatedly in the parking lot only to find that one of them fell off within a day or two, and the other had become misattached.

Any suggestions? The design of the wiper arm looks poor since the wiper blade does not lock into the arm but only snaps onto the blade.

Best wishes,

Phil

Phil,

perhaps the snap mechanism (where they attach) is faulty? Why don't you have the Retailer check it out? This should not be happening to a brand new car.
