Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42137
Help keep the rear glass of your SUV clear in rain and snow with this DORMAN HELP rear windshield wiper arm, part number 43816. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear wiper arm on the 2017-2022 Kia Sportage. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
The wiper arm holds the blade against the rear glass and carries the wiper motor's motion across the window. A weak arm spring can let the blade lift off the glass and leave streaks or unwiped areas. A bent or fatigued arm may chatter or miss part of its sweep. If a worn arm is the cause, this part replaces it.
