Front wiper shaft grommet
17.01.2022
The front wiper shaft grommet for Volvo 850, 960 and S90/V90 is available again.
This foam seal is an inconspicuous part that keeps the water box in front of the windscreen clean. It sits on the shaft of the wiper linkage under the plastic cover of the water tank and ensures that no leaves or debris fall into the water tank at the edge of the cover.
This is not entirely unimportant, as coarse dirt quickly clogs the drains in the water tank and, in the worst case, the wiper linkage, wiper motor and, in the case of the Volvo 850, the fuse box are then submerged in water. That would have fatal consequences.
The seal is easy to replace, all you have to do is unscrew the wiper arms and remove the water box cover, underneath they are simply plugged onto the shafts. When replacing the wiper motor or linkage, be sure to order the seal as well. The old ones are often crumbly and fall apart when you try to pull them off.
On the Volvo 960, there was also a slightly different version made of rubber, which was placed on the shaft above the cover. This can be easily replaced by the foam seal.
The seal is now available in our shop under the number 1029964.
Suitable for:
- Volvo 850
- Volvo 960 1994-
