The X308 feeds its washer fluid up through the wiper arm. Spoilerz in the comments.

The parts are special order on SNG Barratt, but I should have them in a week or two.

My guess was going to be that you wasted extra money getting those icon blades that I find have a very short lifespan.

*Blade. Jags are too quirky for two blades.

Maybe it’s maybe it’s a climate thing, but I’ve had the same Icon blade on the car for the past year and it shows no signs of wear. Plus, they just remove water better than any I’ve ever had.

Probably climate, I never get more than 8 months from a wiper, the icons sooner

And Citroen called them an “innovative feature”

I’ve driven a car in ‘Murica that had the washer up there, but I can’t remember which one... Eagle Premier maybe?

I recall a 1991 Plymouth Sundance of all things having that...

Does the washer just get covered in ice and not work?

Actually, my experience has been the opposite. Since they sit on top of the blades, you don’t have to dig them out before spraying the window.

I’ve found that as well. Those things suck.
