I am trying to replace the front wipers on my 2008 9-5 wagon for the first time since I bought it. When I got the old blades removed, the wiper arms did not have the normal U-hook on the end, but end in a straight arm with slight bend in the last half inch.
The replacement blades I bought are Bosch Icon 22A and 22B, as indicated as OEM replacement for the 2008 9-5. They will slide on to the straight wiper arms, but the latching cover cannot snap into place as the flat wiper arm is in the way.
So...this leaves me wondering, are these straight wiper arms OEM on the 2008 9-5 or did the previous owner install some different wiper arms to use some special blades? Or was the Bosch info incorrect?
