Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42557
Help keep the front wiper blade pressed against the glass with this Dorman wiper arm, part number 42630 from Dorman - HELP. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1997 Ford Explorer, 1995-1997 Ford Ranger and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. It is designed to replicate the original arm's fit and function on these applications and is engineered for durability and reliable performance.
A windshield wiper arm mounts on the wiper pivot and holds the blade. Its spring tension keeps the blade against the glass as the wiper system sweeps it back and forth. When the spring weakens or the arm bends, the blade can lift, chatter or streak, which may mean the arm needs replacing. Full application details are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
