Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42844
Help keep your rear view clear with the Dorman - HELP Rear Windshield Wiper Arm, part number 42524, a Dorman wiper arm built as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport and 1998-2001 Mercury Mountaineer.
The wiper arm holds the blade against the rear glass and carries it through each sweep. Dorman designs this arm to fit and work like the original on the listed applications, so it is a straightforward choice when the rear wiper arm on your 1998-2001 Ford Explorer has worn out.
Signs this part may need replacing include a blade that no longer presses evenly against the glass, streaking or missed areas, or an arm that is bent or loose. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application and engine details.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this the right 2000 Ford Explorer rear wiper arm?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Ford Explorer, which includes the 2000 model year.
Does this wiper arm go on the front or the rear?
It is a rear wiper arm, cataloged for the rear position. It moves the blade across the rear glass, not the front windshield.
What does a rear wiper arm do?
It holds the wiper blade against the rear glass and moves it back and forth as the wiper pivot turns. Spring tension in the arm keeps the blade in contact with the glass.
What are signs the wiper arm may need replacing?
A blade that lifts or skips across the glass, streaking, or a bent or loose arm can all be signs. This arm is intended to replace an original that has failed from spring wear, snow damage or metal fatigue.
How do I install this wiper arm?
Before removing the old arm, note where it rests on the glass so the new arm can be set in the same position. Then follow the vehicle's service information for removal and installation.
