Easy Mod for you 07 08 & 09 models
My 07 Expy's rear wiper got a little bent up in the car wash last week, so I figured why not upgrade to the 10 model rear wiper that is concealed in molded plastic. For about $20 and ten minutes you can switch it over.
Part numbers are pictured below. Wiper arm was $7.23 and blade was $11.98 http://inlinethumb40.webshots.com/27...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb13.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/45...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb13.webshots.com/11...500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/47...500x500Q85.jpg |
I like that! Did you need to by a new wiper arm cap?

I thought I would and ordered it but as it turns out the arm comes with cap and all, existing 13mm nut works as well.
|
Nice, did you get it local or online?
|
Well looks like this is my next mod....now off to Ford with part number in hand. THANKS!!!!
|
I got the parts online at Tasca Ford Parts, but they sent the wrong wiper blade with the wiper arm, I returned the blade and picked it up locally at my dealer same day, for the same price, without shipping cost, which is where I should have started in the first place.
|
great idea man. I'll see about grabbing one of these when I next visit a Ford place
|
I can tell you with my 10. . .the wiper doesn't fold out (not sure if previous models do or not) so it makes it a PITA to clean all of the window because the wiper does get in the way
|
the one I have only extends maybe 1.5" from the window...so it sounds like it's the same eddie
|
The one I just put on folds out just as much or a touch more then the metal arm and blade I replaced with, I had no trouble getting a rag underneath the wiper to clean the window.
|
How hard was the install? Does the assembly inside of the rear window have to come out?
|
One 13 mm nut and off comes the arm takes some pulling but it does come off.
|
I just noticed your UK overlay. . .. custom deal or online?
|
Thanks for the idea. I was getting my oil changed today so I bought these parts. 10 minutes later and it is on. It gives the back such a cleaner look. My dealer wanted 11.98 for the blade and 10.00 for the arm.
