Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42557
Carry the blade across the windshield and hold it against the glass with the Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm 42742, built for the front left position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1977-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1977-1989 Chevrolet Caprice and 1977-1990 Buick LeSabre. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A worn arm may no longer press the blade firmly against the glass. That can show up as streaking, chattering, or a blade that lifts or skips across the windshield. If the arm is the cause, this Dorman wiper arm replaces it in the front left position. Consult the vehicle service information for removal steps and for setting the arm's park position on the glass.
