Default 2004 S80 windshield wipers

Ever had the windshield wipers wear out on your 2004 S80? Were you able to find new wipers? If so, where? My S80's wipers involve a clamp, apparently, and I've been told this version was only used for half of 2004, then they started using wipers that use hooks instead of clamps. So where do you find these wipers with clamps now? I mean, the chances are pretty good that it will rain again.

Also, the windshield washer doesn't work, doesn't do anything -- I actually wasn't sure if the car had one or not, but it does, it's just not working. Without looking at it, the mechanic said maybe it's not hooked up or maybe the motor has gone out. Anyone know if replacing the washer motor is a major repair, i.e., costly?

Thanks y'all.

I cannot comment on the ease of replacing the motor, but I can for the wiper blades. I too have the same blades. I could not find them online but my local dealer did have them. I have one set for winter/wet and another for the summer when I do not use them.
