Installation Notes and Tips
Installation of the Dorman 42550 wiper arm requires removal of the existing arm by loosening the flange nut and detaching from the spine attachment point. Align the new arm carefully to ensure the hook end properly secures the wiper blade. The integrated spray nozzle should be connected to the washer fluid line to restore full functionality. No instruction manual is included, so consulting a vehicle-specific repair guide or professional assistance is recommended for proper installation.
