Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front wiper configuration before ordering. This assembly uses a bolt-on mounting style and electrical drive, so connector condition, linkage alignment, and pivot points should be inspected during installation. Confirm the clockwise (right) rotation requirement and compare the original unit to the Dorman 602-145AS before removal to ensure proper match.
