Rear wiper broke

Go read the link I posted. It definitely fits. You can see it installed on my 17, with a 17 Inch Icon Blade. Amazon does not know all.

great reading on wiper. How do set the fricken wiper so its sits perfectly level all the time. Whenever hatch opens wiper hangs down again. Is there a stop we can adjust how low it goes ? Looks sloppy when its not level. Bought vehicle like this

Unscrew the nut and rotate the arm slightly whichever way will make it level and retighten the nut.

With the After market Arm you need to pry it up after you loosen, because it installs solid!

I have had the Dorman arm in my Amazon wishlist for months now just never bothered to order it since my wiper was still good.
We’ve needed an Ark here in central Ky over the past month or so and mine was finally shot.
So reading this thread I ordered the arm on Monday they even had a warehouse deal for 9.75 on the arm and picked up a 17” conventional blade for $7 today. Both parts still cheaper than the stupid blade from Ford alone.
So it actually quit raining tonight so I popped the new one on.
Damn skippy you weren’t kidding the factory arm was on there tight. Had to get behind it with metal scraper and wiggle it off. When it finally broke lose sounded like a gunshot.

Don't lift the original too high off the glass, it'll snap the "tail" off. (Ask me how I know).

Exactly where mine was glued.

I replaced with the Dorman arm yesterday. Sprayed the stud with WD40 and let it sit for a bit. Used a pushclip remover and wiggled it till it finally broke loose. My wiper still worked, but the stupid little plastic cap over the nut was gone and that bugged me. I tried to order 2 different covers and couldn't get the right one sent, so I bought a new arm. Used the 17 " blade and it works perfect. Thanks for the info in this thread.

This is the arm you seek so you can just buy any old 17” blade (I think that is the right length) off the shelf and not have to use the crappy overpriced proprietary Ford blade.

Amazon says this will not fit my 2010. Are you pretty sure it does?

I have a 16 and Amazon says it does not fit though it does just fine.
Pretty sure the 10s have the same input shaft.
As long as you have the input shaft with a nut it should fit just fine.

It absolutely does fit. I have the same one on my 2010.
