Problem overview

Some Jaguar XJ8 owners report experiencing issues with loose wiper arms, which can lead to wiper blades ejecting or parking incorrectly. These problems often stem from a nut that has come loose, causing instability in the wiper arm. Additionally, misalignment of the wiper blade can exacerbate these issues, making proper alignment crucial for preventing ejection and incorrect parking. Some owners find that if the wiper arms have been reinstalled at an incorrect angle, it affects their parking position, necessitating a reset procedure to realign them. Furthermore, damage to the wiper arm, such as bending from snow or ice, can also hinder proper wiper blade movement. It is advisable for owners to inspect the wiper arm for any damage and ensure it is securely tightened and correctly aligned to avoid these complications.
