Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42785
Keep your wiper blade pressed firmly against the glass with this Dorman wiper arm, part number 42586 from the Dorman - HELP line. This front windshield wiper arm is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
The wiper arm connects the wiper blade to the wiper pivot. Its spring tension holds the blade against the windshield as the wiper system sweeps it across the glass.
A wiper arm may need replacing if the blade no longer presses evenly on the glass, if it streaks or skips because of weak spring tension, or if the arm is bent or loose on its pivot. Other parts of the wiper system can cause similar problems, so check the cause first. If the arm is at fault, this part replaces it.
