What fixed that for me was to spring the blade away from the rear screen
(as if you were going to manually clean the glass or replace the wiper
blade) and then to apply a lubricant to the pivot in the wiper arm just by
where it attached to the motor spigot on the tailgate - I used WD40 but
that's not really a lubricant, possibly 3 in 1 or any light machine oil to
free it up.
Pivot the arm back and forth between on-screen and off-screen a few times,
perhaps apply a little more lubricant, pivot back to blade on screen and

Have the same problem with my 2001 V40. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another issue is that the wiper blade is non-standard -- the local
Canadian Tire (aka "Crappy Tire") sells 16-inch blades that do not fit
the holder, even though the guide book at the store says taht they do.
Has anyone in Southern Ontario found a non-Volvo source for the rear
wiper blade assembly?
Thanks!
Going to find some non-WD40 lubricant and try the arm tonight....
