🔍 Enhance Visibility: Dorman 42893 Rear Windshield Wiper Arm for Chrysler/Dodge Models Review

Yes, as others have pointed out, the lever is slightly different from the OEM but works great. Note that the internal hub bore is not knurled like the OEM, but as far as I can tell this doesn't cause a problem - as long as the nut is properly tightened on the shaft. It looks like the hub bore is slightly tapered for a snug fit. Before installing the lever, apply some heavy duty grease to the spring assembly to keep it from rusting too quickly (like the originals). This should give you a little…

I live in a rainy climate and often rely on the rear wiper to maintain my rear view. The old man wasn't very good at cleaning windows anymore. At first I thought it was the wipers. I tried replacing this and it didn't help. I found that the wiper arm itself was no longer in contact with the glass. I ordered this new replacement and installed it today. It works great and I can finally see out of the rear window in the rain again. Removing the old one may require a special tool or clips, or you…

rear wiper got stuck in my town and country due to corrosion and didn't want to stay in contact with the rear window (like many of you chrysler minivan owners nkow is after a few been a common occurrence for years) (lubrication doesn't last) At first I didn't want to use a replacement part but decided to take a chance, ordered a new Dorman lever, when I received and checked the part, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and finish of the lever, the finish is much better than the original…

Updated: There are no problems and about 1 year has passed. Upgrade from 3 to 4 stars. (Still Not Dormant) Original: Was NOT a Dorman wiper arm. (-1 star) Exactly the same size and nearly identical design as the original wiper arm it replaced on my 2006 Chrysler Town and Country except for the lack of knurling, keys or whatever you want to call them. (-1 star) So I checked online anyway before installing. Numerous sources pointed to a Dorman (even without nicks or wedges) as a wiper arm…

4 stars because the quality, workmanship, material and strength of the nib are first class. Minus one star as it's hard to know what it does and doesn't do and it leaves the nut open to the weather. Note for 2008 Town & Country: The round hole in the lever is too small and will NOT fit. . I have a 2008 and had to drill a bigger hole. It's fairly easy to make - the metal is lightweight cast aluminum, so I was able to drill through it with regular bits (large diameter) and a DeWalt…
