Review on Dorman 42563 HELP Wiper Arm by Kyle Awasthi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Product name and included instructions do not match

3rd generation Camry (my car). However, what got to my house didn't say "Dorman" anywhere, and even the top-level product number didn't match the one on the box. The instructions weren't well written and when the inside diameter it was fitted to didn't have the expected/pictured lugs that matched what I had (mine was taken apart so I bought a replacement) I sent this Device back without using it. The locking ridges on the inside diameter of my existing wiper arm became streaked when my wiper froze overnight in the ice halfway to the windshield and the car was turned on the next morning (which on my car causes the wiper position to reset to its original spot) . windshield base). I saw that this replacement product had flat metal there, and figured if it mattered that the bolt holding the lever in place was very tight, I'd go that route with mine, still semi-ribbed, albeit go bare hand : ran like clockwork. At least I can say the color on this product looked like it had a nice matte finish. But matching the item listed and what was sent to me earned it a low rating and a refund.

Pros
  • Reliable quality - backed by a team of US product experts and over a century of automotive experience
