Must be drilled out for assembly on the drive shaft!

Looks well made. However, I had two problems with the rear wiper arm during installation. First, the hand was not carried by the hairpin. I had to drill a hole to get it in. Second, I had to bend the outside of the arm to allow the wiper to fully seat when powered off. Both issues have been reported by other customers and should be fixed! Otherwise it works fine.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Cargo

Installation and processing - scrap

absolute scrap. From looks to equipment, this wiper arm is absolute junk. The finish on it looks like it was drawn by a first grader. The mounting hole is too small to miss the thread if you don't drill it. And the biggest problem is that it's bent the wrong way, causing the wiper motor to stall unless you get out and help it.

Pros
  • wipers and washers
Cons
  • usurious price

Update Dec 2020 - The lever has rusted in the last 2 months (in 6 years) which theโ€ฆ
