## Description

This windshield wiper arm is designed to match the fit and function of the original arm on specified vehicles, and is engineered for durability and reliable performance. This part is compatible with the following vehicles. Before purchasing, enter your vehicle trim in the garage tool to confirm fitment. [Ford Escape: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007] - [Mercury Mariner: 2005, 2006, 2007]

Review: Good Product - I called Dorman and this is genuine Dorman brand. Fit perfectly on my 2003 Escape. The spring is strong, holding the wiper tightly to the window glass.
Review: Quality, reasonably priced product. - I had an issue with my first shipment (not the product), where I never received it. I spoke with the customer service, and they were very understanding and offered to send out a replacement free of charge. I really appreciated this, as it was something that they probably didn't have to do. Overall, this has been a great product. For a couple years my rear wiper wouldn't wipe more than about a 3" swath. I changed the blade a few times, and finally decided to try the arm instead. It worked like a charm, and for a reasonable price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this arm too long for my 2004 Ford Escape?**
A: The Dorman 42536 will fit all Ford Escapes, Mercury Mariners, and Mazda Tributes manufactured thru 1/7/2007. I put one on a 2005 Escape, and it fit perfectly. Make sure the rear wiper is turned off and "parks" correctly before turning off the key prior to arm replacement, and be sure to put the new arm on the splined motor shaft so it aligns the same (parallel to the bottom edge of glass) as the old one you remove.

**Q: Is this the bolt on or the "gear" attachment??**
A: Nope.  This is the arm that attaches to the "gear," which is the splined end of the motor drive shaft.

**Q: How long is the arm?**
A: This is 18-3/4" long.

**Q: Does anybody that actually purchased this arm and installed know the "actual" length of the arm (not listed)?  Installing on a UTV, not Ford Escape.**
A: the arm itself is 11.3 inches with the blade the total length is 126 inches

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product
*by R***S on September 23, 2017*

I called Dorman and this is genuine Dorman brand. Fit perfectly on my 2003 Escape. The spring is strong, holding the wiper tightly to the window glass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality, reasonably priced product.
*by P***Y on January 29, 2015*

I had an issue with my first shipment (not the product), where I never received it. I spoke with the customer service, and they were very understanding and offered to send out a replacement free of charge. I really appreciated this, as it was something that they probably didn't have to do. Overall, this has been a great product. For a couple years my rear wiper wouldn't wipe more than about a 3" swath.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean Sweep
*by S***B on March 31, 2015*

Went on easily and fits well. I read in another review that the replacement arm was better than what came standard on the vehicle and I agree 100%. The streaky partial cleaning I got with the stock arm (even with a new blade) became a 'clean sweep' after I installed this part.
