Better Visibility with New Wiper Arm

i recently replaced my old wiper arm with the Dorman 42742 and I must say I`m impressed! As a result of using this product, I found that my windshield is now streak-free and crystal-clear, even in heavy rain .The installation was easy and quick. However the arm does feel slightly flimsy compared to my old one. Overall, I highly recommend the Dorman 42742 Wiper Arm for anyone looking for improved visibility on the road..

Pros
  • Improved visibility, easy installation.
Cons
  • Slightly flimsy.

  • Restores functionality - Reliable replacement for the original wiper arm that failed due to spring wear, snow damage or metal fatigue
