Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Volvo 240 take?

The Volvo 240 takes a 16 inch (400mm) wiper blade on both the driver and passenger sides across the 1977 to 1989 range. All years use the same size, making replacement straightforward. A matching rear blade is also available for the model.

Does the Volvo 240 have a rear wiper?

Yes, the Volvo 240 is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard. The rear blade is 13 inches (325mm) and is sold separately from the front pair. Owners should replace all three blades at the same time for consistent visibility.

What wiper connector does the Volvo 240 use?

The Volvo 240 uses a standard hook style connector on both front wiper arms. This connector type suits most aftermarket and OEM replacement blades. No adaptor is required for a straightforward swap.

Why do sedan and wagon Volvo 240 models use the same wiper size?

The Volvo 240 was produced with minimal changes to its wiper system across more than a decade of production. This means owners of both the sedan and wagon body styles use the same blade sizes. The long production run also means replacement parts remain widely available.

How often should I replace Volvo 240 wiper blades?

Wiper blades on the Volvo 240 should generally be replaced every six to twelve months. Blade rubber on older vehicles like the 240 can perish more quickly if the car is stored outdoors. Regular inspection of the blades will confirm when a replacement is due.
