Hi, having trouble with my windshield wiper on my Canadian XJ8 VDP. replaced it last year with an aftermarket and it doesn't hold to the screen, leaves a big swath of water right where I look out. Just want to know what other drivers are using in terms of an aftermarket wiper from Canadian Tire etc. that's why i;m posting in this regional forum and not on the XJ8 one.

or should i order OEM's from a jag dealer?

 

Just as I was about to move it.

When I had my X308, replacement wiper rubbers only (not the whole blade or blade + arm assembly) were available from the dealer. Would never have known if the parts counter guys hadn't mentioned it. P/N GNB8961AA.

However if the blade is lifting off the screen, it's likely the spring in the arm is worn.
