So I’m new to the Jaguar forum having just purchased my first 2006 XK8! It’s gorgeous and has low miles! So forgive me for my simple request. Should I be buying wiper blades that are only Jaguar? I purchased two generic blades locally and the figment doesn’t look right plus the drivers side blade has some sort of air foil on it? Thanks for the help!

I use aftermarket wiper blade rubber inserts. The Trico 45-205 refills have worked well for me and are relatively inexpensive. The last pair I purchased came from Carquest Auto Parts....
If you choose to replace the entire assembly instead of installing just a pair of inserts, the Michelin 21-inch blade assembly available at Walmart is an exact fit and performs well....

A word of warning, and I wish I could be more specific as I don't remember the brand - they weren't cheap. I installed a set that would skip/chatter when the windshield dried. The aluminum casting at the bottom of the left wiper finally had enough and fractured. Dammit!
If they chatter, ditch them!
