Sam's wiper arm and wiper arms and your texture are not compatible.

I just bought a brand new wiper arm and arms from this manufacturer and they don't fit, the knurling doesn't match Winchell wiper arm and arms, this is very frustrating and I don't know how removing the winch wiper arms at this point I may have to cut them off

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

WILL NOT FIT 2002 F250

As another reviewer wrote, this part will NOT fit the driver's side of the 2002 F250. I also checked the part number on the Dorman website before placing my order. That's the wrong angle. The lever on the passenger side actually seems to fit right on the driver's side, so I'll order it and try it. The correct part is the faded hand at the bottom of my photo. Wrong part - shiny at the top of the photo from a different angle.

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Some Cons

I now have a clean look on my 2000 F250

This fits my driver's side at a slightly different angle. Not so much that it bothers me. The entire wiper now remains on the glass. Before buying I thought I was getting deformed wipers that didn't sweep rain out of the center of the wiper. After changing the brand of wipers, I still had this problem. Then I noticed that the 20-year-old springs on normal wipers had lost their strength. This replacement solved my problem!

Pros
  • Stable results in testing
Cons
  • boring packaging

Does not eliminate irritation.

I don't know what that means. This is the correct wiper arm for a truck (F250 2003) and it will fit in place, but you can clearly tell it is "wrong" as the curves of the arm with the wiper blade rest against the glass. I also checked the Dorman website and the number is correct, left front. Some thoughts; Someone doesn't know the left versus right rule like you're in the driver's seat. Or it's a poorly made product. Or is it just crooked enough to be used in more than one application, and…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Hard to say
