Default Wiper blade refills for X350?

The rubber on one of my wipers has started coming off the blade, which replacement should I get and how simple is the process?

Thanks.

There are internet suppliers who sell just the rubbers, or the whole shebang at reasonable prices. AFAIK Jaguar dealers only sell the whole blade, and to be honest, not all that expensive if your dealer runs an older car scheme like Royles do

You can get refills from CarQuest Auto Parts if you have them out in La La land. Do not even consider replacing the complete assembly as it will screw up your washer attachment.

Mine did they same thing and I could not find a replacement in any auto parts store soI bought the whole thing from the dealer. Now having new blades on the car I will have time to find replacement blades only for the old set and have them fitted for when I need them again.

I did not like the original metal, dated and tacky IMHO so I bought these for a perfect fit, including the washers: Trico Teflon Shield Hybrid Beam 20-190 and 20-240

I replaced my wipers this past week. I bought Trico Flex beam-type wipers, 24" and 19". I re-used the original Jaguar connector with washer. It was a snug fit placing the connector/washer into the Flex, but it does fit.

I bought some decent run-of-the-mill wipers that were the correct length and used the rubber part to refill my original wiper. $16. 10 minutes to the store. No interweb needed.

I bought one of those regular I think it's either RainX or Bosch wiper and it does have tight fit which makes it doesn't really conform to the windshield while in operation. So what I did is filed the connection side down on the washer attachment and it works like a charm. I just unattach the sprayer part from the arm and grind it down to make the side profile thinner.
