Fits and works. - Spare parts

The teeth on the old lever have been removed. It was an inexpensive replacement for the driver's side of my 2003 Monte Carlo. Easy to install and work correctly.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • No automatic

Good quality for wipers

Four stars because the plastic liquid sprayer didn't spray but blew - a one-off defect. Otherwise a great replacement. Be sure to remove the silver metal shipping pin after installation to allow the springs on the arm to press against the windshield. 2004 Impala car.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Perfect for wipers

This wiper arm fits like a glove and it's easy to fit a new wiper blade to it. Total repair time is 10-20 minutes. Keys and muscles are not included. It was easy to install. A mother holds it to the wiper motor. The tapered wiper pivot loses traction over time (70,000 to 160,000 miles) and eventually stops moving.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Expensive

OE "Quality " on Gun

I bought this to replace a broken driver's side wiper arm on my 2003 Chevrolet Impala. It looks and fits like an original part and uses the same questionable splined fastening system that is prone to stripping. Order It.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Secret

Concerned about not being splined

I had to replace mine for the exact reason that the splines on OEM parts are stripped. Now I get this replacement and it also has no splines. So what will be the difference? Both now have smooth tapered joints. I think we'll see. If I have any problems I will return the product and report it in this post.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Has no splines like OEM works but your mileage may vary.

I sent 3 of them back when trying to get a wedge, apparently the Dorman brand doesn't emulate the OEM in the wedge mount. It fit and worked but I had to give it 2 stars as the design is inferior to the OEM and probably won't work in climates where heavy snow/ice stresses the slick friction mount.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Nothing
