Dorman - OE Solutions P/N:602-040
Keep your front wipers sweeping reliably with this Dorman wiper linkage, part number 602-168, a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Chevrolet Trax and 2013-2019 Buick Encore. On certain vehicles, the original wiper transmission uses a plastic linkage that can turn brittle with age and crack. If the wiper blade then disengages, it can damage the vehicle. This Dorman OE FIX wiper transmission replaces that plastic with a sturdy metal linkage, designed to better withstand the elements and the mechanical stress placed on the assembly.
The wiper linkage, also called the wiper transmission, connects the wiper motor to the front wiper arms. It turns the motor's rotation into the back-and-forth sweep across the windshield. Signs it may need replacing include:
