I'm going to post this here and also in the non-OEM stickie but since it's XJ8 specific it may be of greater help here.


In searching for replacement wiper blades for my wife's 2004 XJ8 that retained the washer system and the wind deflector I was having a tough time. The various ones available from Bosch and others at the local super centers and elsewhere either flat did not work or you lost some functionality, or both.

I finally stumbled across the ones pictured below at, of all places, Advance Auto Parts. $58.48 for the pair with free shipping to home for orders over $25. You can buy them individually if you need to as well.Barratt's has them but even with the forum discount they're still about $10 more.

They're labeled as OES and the pkgs. are sealed with the normal Jaguar logo, etc.

 

You can also get Trico wiper refills if you don't need to replace the whole blade.

Trico 45-245 for driver's side. $7.31 shipped on Amazon.
Trico 47-600 for passenger's side (you'll have to cut to length). $10.08 shipped on Amazon (sold as a pair).

 

I used Trico blades on mine and was able to re-use the windshield washer hoses and nozzles. It worked just fine...

 

Try these. They are an upgrade from the traditional blades of the '60s. They are a direct replacement and have the spritzers built into them like the OEM's.
