Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42466
Cataloged as a DORMAN HELP windshield wiper arm, part number 42841 is a rear wiper arm. It holds the blade against the rear window glass and carries it through each sweep. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf R and 2015-2019 Volkswagen e-Golf, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Signs a rear wiper arm may need replacing include a bent or damaged arm, a blade that lifts or chatters because spring tension has weakened, or uneven sweeps across the glass. If a worn arm is the cause, installing the 42841 replaces it. Check the condition of the blade at the same time.

What does a rear wiper arm do?
It holds the wiper blade under spring tension against the rear window glass and moves it back and forth as the wiper motor runs, so the blade can sweep the glass.
What are signs the rear wiper arm may need replacing?
A bent or damaged arm, weak spring tension that lets the blade lift or chatter, or uneven sweeps can be signs of a worn arm. Diagnose the cause first, because the blade or motor may also be involved.
What kinds of damage is this arm meant to replace?
Dorman designed the 42841 to replace an original wiper arm that has failed from spring wear, snow damage or metal fatigue.
Is the 42841 a direct replacement for the original arm?
Yes. It is designed to fit and function like the original arm on the listed applications, so it installs as a direct-fit replacement.
