Product Details

The Valeo Silencio VisioBlade line is a dedicated OE-style wiper solution that integrates windshield washing into the blade assembly rather than relying on conventional nozzle placement. That design helps spread washer fluid more evenly across the wiping path and can reduce freezing effects associated with standard spray systems. This part number 178501 is a specific-fit replacement for heated Volvo applications, including 2024-2025 Volvo S60, 2024-2025 Volvo V60, 2024-2025 Volvo V60 Cross Country, 2019-2023 Volvo S60, 2019-2023 Volvo V60, and 2020-2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country. This part cross-references 572312 and VA312 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Streaking caused by worn or uneven wiper edges
• Poor washer-fluid coverage across the windshield
• Reduced wiping performance in freezing conditions
• Fitment issues on specific heated Volvo windshield applications
• Noise or chatter from aging beam-style blades

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s exact year, model, and heated windshield configuration before installation. This part uses the AQB1 wiper blade connection type and requires the correct adapters for the listed application. Follow the vehicle-specific connection sequence so the mechanical, electrical, and fluid interfaces seat properly in one motion. Confirm blade orientation and full contact across the windshield after installation on Volvo S60, Volvo V60, or Volvo V60 Cross Country models.
