Default 2008 XJ8 proper wipers - help finding

I have an XJ8 2008 and have had a hard time finding the proper wiper blades which have the squirters build right into the blade. I have ordered from several sites that say they have the proper "match" for my model/year, but they just end up sending me regular blades without the squirter built in. Welsh had them listed and the picture was proper, but after 2 months waiting they said they were back ordered and after another month I bailed on that order.

So, does anyone know where I can get these special blades. I would even be satisfied to buy used if you have them and then I can insert some fresh rubber on my own. Don't have a local JLR dealer in my town, but may call the nearest one.

Appreciate the help. Seems like a minor thing, but not being able to properly clean a dirty windshield is quite frustrating.

Randy

I bought the right sized replacement blades and just swapped out the rubber wipers. Not that difficult and at reasonable cost. Just be sure the rubber blades are of the correct size.

they are with them mounted on the wiper and you can change the side somehow.

Maybe I was not clear. I do not have the original wipers with the spray nozzles. I am looking for a set with nozzles, new or used. I know I can swap out the rubber. The Bosch shown above do not appear to provide the nozzles.

Worzella, the bosch wiper blades do come with spray nozzles built right in. You just attach your wiper fluid lines to the nozzles when you replace the blades. If you want some close up pictures of them on my car let me know. Happy to post pictures. I hope this helps.

@worzella can you post a picture of what you have? It will help identify parts needed.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Randy,
Your problem was interesting because here in New Zealand, I can't get the Bosch wiper set. I did find on AliExpress some clip-on wiper jets and bought some in case mine fail.

Thanks for the link. I could not find a US supplier either so used an eBay seller from the UK. Price was decent but shipping was stiff!
