Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42557
Help keep your rear window clear in rain and snow with the Dorman wiper arm 42894, a replacement rear wiper arm designed to hold the blade against the glass as it sweeps. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2012-2019 Ford Escape, 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The wiper arm links the rear wiper motor's pivot to the blade, and its spring tension keeps the blade in contact with the glass. When that spring weakens or the arm bends, the blade can skip, chatter or leave unwiped streaks across the rear window.

I'm looking for a 2012-2019 Ford Escape windshield wiper arm for the back window. Is this the right one?
This arm is cataloged for the rear position on the 2012-2019 Ford Escape, where it carries the rear window wiper blade. It is not a front windshield arm.
Does this rear wiper arm fit other Ford models?
Yes. It is listed for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and the 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, among other vehicles. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.
What does a rear wiper arm do?
It connects the rear wiper motor's pivot to the wiper blade. Its spring tension holds the blade against the glass as the motor sweeps it back and forth.
What are signs the wiper arm may need replacing?
Look for a blade that no longer presses firmly on the glass, an arm bent by snow or ice, or cracks from metal fatigue. A worn blade can also cause streaking, so inspect both.
How is the rear wiper arm installed?
Wiper arms typically mount to the motor pivot with a retaining nut. Note where the original arm parks before you remove it, and follow your vehicle's service information when you install the new one.
