Windshield wipers are ineffective. Dealer tried polishing the windshield, replacing the blades, and eventually replaced the windshield. We tried to increase the frequency of cleaning the blades. There was no improvement. Here is a link to a forum for the Volvo S40 T5 that shows that others are having the same problem. forums.swedespeed.com/zerothread?id=49251.
