Volvo #30699847 - XC90 2007-2010 Wiper Arm Rear w/Wiper Cover OES $52.33
VOLVO XC90 WIPERS WASHERS & RELATED 2003-2010 at Swedish Auto Parts (formerly TheVolvoSite.com)
(This is the arm and the cover, OES means Original Equipment Volvo Part)

You then need the blade:

Volvo # 30699848 - XC90 2007-2010 Wiper Blade Rear OES
(same link above). $16.41

For whatever reason this fits on my X5.

I need to get a new blade so I'll order one. Now the question is will other X5 owners put Volvo wiper parts on their car! I'm not removing it as I like it!

Why have you changed your mind? You said it doesn't do a good job at the top of its swipe path. Or did you re-check and found it's ok after all? Please clarify as I seriously want to do this upgrade. That wiper looks awesome!
