850 and x70 are often the same, though typically one does work while others dont. On my old 850T5, I simply removed them and fitted headlight trims from a ca...

Wasn't the 7/9 something like 95% more aerodynamic than than the Porsche 911 if the same era?

Think I remember seeing a poster add about it years back.

i dont even know how thats possible but ill tell people as long as they believe it

My headlight wipers work on my 740, all it took to get them working was me leaving the wiper switch on all day, lifting the wipers off of the windscreen as well to prevent scratches, give it a try ☺️

940 may have been more aerodynamic but not by that much!

blondejay;16463 wroteI take it you have had many issues with the 2series wipers?

Nothing major, just getting the right combo of blades/motor/arm. The 240 wipers work fine on my car, just slow. Designed to deal with snow rather than rain on the windscreen me thinks.

What??? You have headlight wipers on your 240 now?? Outrageous! (in a bad way).

I loathed the thought of them so much that I welded up the holes and repainted the panel under the lights!

Vee_Que

Did you keep that panel?

Whoah whoah whoah! No need to throw around accusations like that!!! I had headlight wipers on the 850 sedan, that's all. They were crap even after I fixed them. I think Christina's 164 and 960 both had them and I don't think she was a fan.

irishbastard

Headlight wipers aren't that bad, I reckon it makes the volvo look better aero dynamic wise

irishbastard

In fact I was deciding wether to put some on my 740 gl

AshDVS

Nope. I did ask if anyone wanted any panels from it though. Scott took the bootlid and the rest went to Mr Scrapmetal man.
That panel is weld-in anyway but still quite easy to get out - you could debate though that it is easier to weld up whatever is in the car already rather than swap it over.

Here's a quick pic of them welded up -

irishbastard

I'm unsure about everyone else, but I can't see the pic on my phone, is that a common issue ? @AshDVS , @ben
Edit: I switched internet browsers and it's all good now

Ben

Much better welded, fo shizzle
