My 94 850 wagon is great. A minor annoyance: the driver side front windshield wiper misses a huge area each time it sweeps across. I changed the blades, I watched carefully: it looks like the whole arm is lifting away from the windshield. Is this likely a lose mounting bolt? How do I get to the motor?

The arm itself warps. Why? I don't know. Poor engineering/material selection by Volvo and/or Bosch(who made the arms). It seems to be a driver's side thing. Weird.
You can rebend the darn thing, but it will eventually distort again.
I finally replaced the one on my '96 850 with an aftermarket part by ScanTech which looks identical to the Volvo/Bosch part. I am hoping that the ScanTech replacement will not bend itself. Bought mine at:

Installation is very easy.
