2004 S60R

I purchased a set of replacement wiper blades for the headlights, Scan Tech part # 274433. The blade adapter/mounting clip is different and doesn't fit. I tried to re-use my adapter but the new blade pivot pin is located slighty in-ward and doesn't fit my adapter. I already know "R" is a code for "nothing fits your model, dumbass" but even the headlight wipers??!!!
Anyone else ever used Scan Tech brand? Ideas? Dealer for correct blades?

 

No one has experience with their wiper blades?

 

I looked around a bit and it would seem that the wipers are common for all models. I checked IPDusa and PartsGeek.

I ordered a set of wipers from IPD a year or so ago, but a plastic piece on the wiper arm broke during installation, so I removed the arms and installed covers, which make an attractive alternative (albeit pricey).

Have you tried removing the actual blade from the new wipers and just replacing that piece? Never tried it, but I guess you could bend the little clamps (provided they are ductile enough) on the end and slide it out.
