Dorman 42586 HELP! Wiper Arm: Premium Solution for Efficient Windshield Wiping Review

Great replacement for my 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4WD. The quality is excellent and it was easy to assemble. Good product.

Teeth not as strong as OEMBc, wiper blade has too much play for my liking and slips a bit. I'll probably take one from the landfill and throw that one away.

If you don't have someone to help you open/pull the lever or use a heavy deployment clamp required to move the latch up, it's pretty tricky do it Yourself. It took me dozens of times and all the pressure I had in one hand to open it, with the other to lift the latch. incredibly dense BUT appears to be a strong material and is well made

I was expecting a fully functional aftermarket replacement but the quality of these parts was below par. Apart from being made of thinner material than the original wiper arms, their workmanship is very poor. The machining of the splines that attach to the motor is very loose, allowing the wiper to move several inches independently of the motor shaft. This means the wipers have a lot of dirt and don't cover much of the windshield.

These wiper arms represent excellent value for money. They have a great price and are almost indistinguishable from OEM guns. I bought these for my '96 Cherokee which has old style wipers. This has put me off buying higher quality windshield wipers that are only compatible with J-Hook arms. This has completely solved this problem. They're not an exact substitute, but no one could tell the difference without seeing them side by side.
