Review on Dorman 42524 Wiper Arm by Matthew Riley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install - even for beginners

Easy to install - even for beginners. This fixed the issue of the original wiper arm not touching the window. The hand is very close to OEM. Before replacing the lever, pull the old lever away from the stop on the tailgate and allow it to lower. This is how the NEW lever should fall off after installation. This keeps the arm under tension in the stowed position. If you install a new lever with the stops together, there may not be enough tension and it may not stow properly. Simply screw it into place so the splines on the wiper motor shaft fit into the new arm. The washer hose was too long, so I cut it off a few inches and used the original fitting that came out of the sunroof. Installing this hand takes up to 5 minutes a day.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
