What This Part Does
The rear wiper arm transfers movement from the electric rear-wiper motor spindle to the wiper blade. Its spring-loading system presses the blade against the curved rear glass so rain, road spray, dirt and light debris can be cleared. Correct pressure and alignment are important for visibility through the rear window during poor weather and when reversing.
Common symptoms of a worn or damaged arm
| ✓ | Wiper motor moves but the arm remains stationary |
| ✓ | Arm slips on the splined motor spindle |
| ✓ | Blade misses sections of the glass or leaves a broad unwiped area |
| ✓ | Weak spring pressure, excessive juddering or repeated lifting |
| ✓ | Cracked plastic, damaged blade clip or missing spindle cover |
| ✓ | Arm parks in the wrong position or touches the surrounding trim |
Why Choose a Matching Used Ford Part?

⚙️
Correct Geometry
Designed around the original tailgate glass, sweep area and spindle position.
|
💷
Strong Value
A serviceable used component can cost substantially less than a new dealer part.
|
♻️
Reuse Before Replace
Reusing an existing component extends its useful life and reduces waste.
|
Cheap replacement arms can vary in spring pressure, spindle dimensions, moulding quality and blade angle. A matching used Ford-manufactured component retains the vehicle-specific shape and fitting arrangement. Savings vary by part and supplier; compare the total cost and condition before purchase.
Fitting Guide
Suggested tools
Protective gloves, masking tape, small trim tool or flat plastic lever, suitable socket and ratchet for the spindle nut, penetrating fluid where necessary, torque wrench if the manufacturer’s torque specification is available, and a dedicated wiper-arm puller for seized arms.
Installation sequence
This is general guidance rather than a substitute for the Ford workshop manual. Stop if the spindle, motor or glass appears damaged. Professional fitting is recommended where you do not have the correct tools or experience.
