Default Windshield and wipers

The used 2006 S60 2.5T I just bought had scratches in the windshield in the middle of where the wipers attach to the arms. (Kind of crescent shaped, along the path of the wipers.)
I thought I could stand it, but it was distracting, so I had the windshield replaced. I bought a new set of generic wipers, that said they'd fit (Goodyear's), but the Auto glass place said the way they attach is wrong. I really don't want to run the old wipers on the new windshield, although I don't think the current wipers are what caused the scratches. So should I order them from online?

Where can I find the actual Volvo spec for OEM windshield wipers for this S60?

Well, not in the manual, but I searched some more with Google to find that these are sort of non-standard, and ordered a set.

The dealer should have them. They're not cheap though. Most aftermarket manufacturers have adapters to install their blades on those arms.

I installed them today with no problems. Just want to make sure I don't scratch up the new windshield....
I got Trico Neoforms, a 22" and a 24".
Thanks.
