Windshield Wiper Arms And Blades
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Each wiper arm is located on a taper spline on the respective pivot. A nut is screwed on the end of the pivot shaft and positively secures the wiper arm on the taper spline.
The wiper blades are attached to the wiper arms with quick release fittings. The wiper arms are spring loaded to maintain a constant wiper blade pressure on the windshield. The wiper blades are a flat blade type with two spines, which provides an even pressure along the length of the wiper blade and allow the wiper blade to curve and match the windshield profile throughout their arc.
