Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Volvo 850 take?

The Volvo 850 takes a 21 inch (525mm) wiper blade on both the driver and passenger sides across the sedan and station wagon body styles. This size applies to the full 1990 to 1997 production run. Rear wiper availability depends on the body style, which is detailed in the table above.

Does the Volvo 850 have a rear wiper?

This depends on the body style. The 850 Sedan does not have a rear wiper blade and is fitted with two front wiper blades only. The 850 Station Wagon is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard, measuring 16 inches (400mm) and sold separately from the front pair.

What wiper connector does the Volvo 850 use?

The Volvo 850 uses a standard hook style connector on both front wiper arms across the sedan and station wagon variants. This connector type is common across many Volvo models from the same era. No special adaptor is required for replacement.

Why does only the Volvo 850 Station Wagon have a rear wiper?

The Volvo 850 shares its front wiper sizing across both the sedan and station wagon, despite the wagon adding a rear wiper the sedan does not have. Owners should check which body style they own before ordering a rear blade. The platform later formed the basis for the Volvo S70 and V70 model lines.

How often should I replace Volvo 850 wiper blades?

Wiper blades on the Volvo 850 should generally be replaced every six to twelve months. Station wagon owners should also check the rear blade at the same time as the front pair. Streaking or juddering during use is a common sign that replacement is due.
