Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42658
Keep the wiper blade held firmly against the glass with the Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm 42548. This front left arm is engineered to drop in like the original on the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 1999-2002 GMC Sierra 1500; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A wiper arm links the wiper blade to the pivot and uses spring tension to hold the blade against the windshield as it sweeps. When the spring weakens or the arm bends, the blade can lift, chatter or leave streaks. If a worn original arm is the cause, this Dorman wiper arm replaces it. Signs an arm may need replacing include streaking or skipping even with a fresh blade, a blade that no longer presses evenly on the glass, or an arm that is visibly bent or loose on its pivot.
