Purpose and fitment

The offered wiper arm is dedicated to the rear window of the Ford Mondeo Mk5, ensuring proper blade adhesion to the glass and stable operation throughout the full range of motion.

Positioned at the rear of the vehicle body, the component works with the factory drive mechanism, maintaining the original operating characteristics of the wiper system.

Construction and function of the wiper arm

The wiper arm is responsible for transferring torque from the drive shaft to the blade, keeping it under appropriate pressure against the glass surface. The properly selected profile of the arm allows for even removal of water, mud, and debris from the entire designed operating zone, which improves visibility while driving in rain or snow.

The component belongs to the Wiper arms group, meaning it is part of the system responsible for maintaining window clarity and driving comfort in changing weather conditions.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The wiper arm is offered as a used part, allowing for an economical repair of the wiper system while maintaining the original mounting specifications. Choosing this solution is particularly beneficial when the existing arm has suffered mechanical damage, corrosion, or deformation, causing improper blade operation.

Using an original arm in good technical condition helps restore the proper operation of the rear wiper without the need to interfere with other system components.

Why choose this wiper arm

• Dedicated application for the Ford Mondeo Mk5 rear window, which facilitates installation and ensures proper fitment.
• Original operating geometry, promoting even cleaning of the glass.
