Help keep your back glass clear with the DORMAN HELP windshield wiper arm 42785, a rear-position arm built as a direct replacement for the 2013-2018 Ford C-Max. It holds the wiper blade against the rear glass as the wiper sweeps, and it is designed to work like the original arm on this application.

  • Direct replacement: engineered to fit and operate like the factory rear arm on the listed application.
  • Replaces a worn arm: intended for an original arm weakened by spring wear, bent by snow, or worn out through metal fatigue.
  • Durable construction: made from quality materials and engineered for durability and dependable operation.
  • Trusted support: backed by Dorman's team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

A bent arm or weak spring tension can let the rear blade lift, chatter or streak. If the arm is the cause, replacing it with 42785 addresses the problem. Inspect the blade as well, because a worn blade can cause similar symptoms. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and application details.
