Dorman - HELP P/N:42865
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.
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.
