XJ wiper arm swap
Paul Revere:
Does anyone know what needs to be done to use XJ wiper arms so I can use modern wipers? I've read it's a common swap somewhere, but cant find specifics. any year XJ i need to get them from, will it work for the Rear wagon wiper arm too, etc?

I did it to my sedan, I can't find the post I got the info. from now. THIS isn't it, but might help you. I don't know about the rear window, my wagon already had been changed before I got it.

FOUND IT!!! I was on Doug's Eagle Companion page on spacebook when I did mine!!! Here's the info. I got. From what I recall, you order the arms from one place & the blades from another. The blades are kinda small in my opinion, you COULD just order the arms & then go to where ever you want for blades in the right size.
You can replace the wiper arms with 89 Jeep wiper Cherokee arms. And use improved blades https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-42591-HELP-Wiper-Arm/dp/B000C5G5CU/ref=asc_df_B000C5G5CU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312684231807&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2020033214677942281&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024252&hvtargid=pla-569462848510&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60983009663&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312684231807&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2020033214677942281&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024252&hvtargid=pla-569462848510

I got my Cherokee arms from the junkyard. You just slip the old ones off, put the Cherokee arms on, and buy some wiper blades for an early 90s cherokee, 18" I think. Good luck!

Just wanted to post the wiper arms I got from Amazon. They are Jeep Cherokee arms and are a direct fit for the AMC Eagle Wagon.
I've been using them now for about 6 months and they are awesome. No more trying to find spade type blades...highly recommend these ones:
