Default Trico Wiper Blades

I changed out my old tired wiper blades for some new Trico Blades. The fit is perfect and they work really well. Took me all of three minutes to swap them out. If you are in the market for some new blades for your XK give 'em a try. No disappointment.

Sounds great! Are these the frameless models? Maybe share the part numbers too.

Default wiper blade removal

How do you get the OEM blades off? I have pulled the wiper stalk while pressing ignition (no foot on brake) which puts the wiper blade at a 45 degree angle on the windscreen.

Is there a button or latch that needs manipulating to release the blade housing?

Thanks much

Leave the wipers in the parked position and use your key or standard screwdriver to prise the tab up and you can then wiggle the old blade out.

So, you use 2x21 inch or one of 21 and one of 22-inch wipers?
