The steel construction provides strength and resistance to corrosion, while the black finish maintains a clean, factory look.

Align the new arm carefully to the windshield wiper motor spindle, then secure it using the spine and flange nut attachment method. No instruction manual is included, so referring to a vehicle-specific repair guide or service manual is recommended for proper torque specifications and alignment procedures.
