Dorman - HELP Windshield Wiper Arm P/N:42545
Hold the wiper blade against the glass as it sweeps with the Dorman wiper arm, part number 42643. This front windshield wiper arm is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2002-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. The catalog lists it for the front, front-left position.
The wiper arm links the blade to the wiper pivot. It uses spring tension to keep the blade pressed to the windshield as it moves back and forth.
A wiper arm may need replacing if the blade lifts off the glass, streaks or chatters from weak spring tension, or if the arm has been bent by ice or snow. If a worn arm is the cause, this part replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.
