Default Valeo 600 Wiper Blades..Do they fit??? Help

Just purchased valeo 600 wiper blades but they don't appear to fit my 2012 XF wiper arm. Seems like the wrong application..

Any experience on this? Thanks in advance.

Jaguar wiper arms use a straight bayonet clip style mount for the blades. Although I'm sure Valeo makes a blade for the Jaguar you may not be able to find them yet over this side of the Atlantic.

This new style of very low profile mounting is getting common in Europe.

So far I've only seen this type at my dealer here in Canada.

When you bought the blades did you check the application guide that should be in the store next to the blades?

This is the wrong type of blade altogether for an XF:

This looks more like the correct fitment:

This is the universal connector to retrofit the new style to old wiper arms. I don't think you can retro fit old style blades to the new arm style.
