Default Stupid question- What aftermarket wiper blades

So I typically keep spare wiperblades on hand (add them to rock auto orders if they are cheap and coming from the same location as whatever part I need). Went to replace both our wiper blades as spring is here and the chance of frost is minimal (as I know my wife will ;clear the frost with the blade). Well the blades I got don't fit. Seems the are what is for I think TL2 arms but I'm having trouble finding blades for the "other" arm. Basicallly has a hook on the front and then tabs on both sides that release it. I'm sure I could swap off the parts on all of these but I would suspect I would end up braking one of the adaptors so want the right ones here before I do the swap.

I used Bosch Aero Twins on both my XFs, great blades that last for years and a doddle to replace.

No.
On the XF the spray nozzle is on the main wiper arm, the bit that you do not replace.

What year is your xf's i have an 012' base v8 will this fit properly? I just had my wipers replaced by OEM Jaguar wipers and you should know how long that lasted (4-6months) paid a pretty penny ($350) for these just to go out that fast doesn't help that I live in the Sonoran Desert lmao.

My XFs were both 2010 (ie "classic" or "pre-facelift") and are both long gone now.
Yes the Bosch Aero Twins were great on them but now I'm not so sure - one of the first things I did on my F-Type was buy and fit new Aero Twins but they were terrible, massive judder no matter what I did or how much I cleaned the screen and the blades, so I went back to the OEM Valeo blades which have been great. IIRC I got them from Rock Auto for less than the cost of the Aero Twins.
