Looking for a recommendation for wiper blade refill. Brand and appropriate size.

Any input sincerely appreciated!!!

 

Dunno about refills, but I ended up using Trico Neoform blades at whatever size they were listed at in Advance Auto Parts and they work great! The reviews are good, too.

 

I appreciate your response. Easy install?? No issue with wiper spray jets?

 

XKGuy,

Sizes:
Driver side: 22" (550mm)
Passenger side: 21" (525mm)

From Consumer Reports:
Product & Services | Ratings & Reviews - Consumer Reports (Hope this works!)
Top rated were Valeo 600, Rain-X Latitude, Anco 31, and Michelin RainForce.

I would either buy locally or from Amazon.com. I haven't had to change mine yet.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your research/input Stuart!!! Excellent info. Just wonder if those are direct replacements for OEM blades without any adaptation issues.

 

The Neoforms do not have any issue with the wiper hose. In fact, I don't think the wiper fluid hose actually mounts to the blade/blade bracket--it mounts to the wiper arm, which is not altered when you replace the blades.

 

After my due Dilligence I decided on the Valeo Series 600 Wiper Blades based on reviews and price point. $13 at Amazon. Hopefully these will perform. If not next will be the Trico
Neoforms.

 

I just bought the stk wipers from Gaudin to keep as spares in the trunk..just in case.

 

Bosch Icon fits perfect, looks OEM, snaps right in

 

Installed the Valeo 600 series wipers. Excellent performance thus far. The positive reviews appear accurate. Install was simple even for a spaz like me.

 

Dealership, $19 bucks each and with new aero covers installed. :-)

 

I love the OEM wipers that Jaguar puts on my XKR. They work fantastic even in heavy rain...no streaking and they make contact across the whole glass.

I just did the 30K service and the wipers were replaced as a part of that at $16.99 each, installed.
