Hi Volks ( Volvo folks ),
Today during motorway driving in rain in the UK the passenger side windscreen wiper blade ( not the arm ) of my wife's 1988 240 GL disintegrated at its mount and became dislodged.
She was unable to stop at the time and she had to leave the wipers on in heavy rain till she got home resulting in arced scratches to the windscreen on the passenger side.
Even had she been able to stop she wouldn't have known to lift the wiper arm until she got home for me to look at it.
I can feel the scratch with my fingernail and am thinking it might be am MOT failure point when it's due.
I've looked on the web regarding windscreen polishing/repair compounds but the consensus is, if you can feel it with your nail, it's probably a new windscreen job.
Does anyone have an idea as to how much a new fitted windscreen will cost and are they even still available. Preferably not at Volvo dealer prices.
What are my options.
MOT not due for a while so have time to consider.
TIA - Colin
