Default 01 Rear Wiper Arm bent

I noticed my wiper arm is kinda wonkey. Somehow it bent outwards where the wiper wasn't even touching the window. I kinda pushed it/bent it back so it would touch the window again.

I did some searching and realized they sell the wiper arm so I'm assuming they just go bad after a while. I'm going to keep the one I have as long as I can, and I had to order a Bosch replacement blade since you can't really find one that fits the V70 properly in the stores.

Anybody have this issue or ever replaced the entire wiper arm? Is it easy to do?

No differentto replacing the front wiper arms.

Remove the plastic cover over the nut. Remove the nut and pull the arm off the splines with a twisting motion. It will probably be a tight fit as it is most likely the original.

Switch on the rear wiper and switch it off again to ensure the motor and linkage are properly parked. For the rear wiper position the new arm so that it is horizontal. Push itonto the splines and replace the nut and plastic cover.

Thanks. I figured it was that easy, but with Volvo you never know.
