J- hook windshield wiper arm conversion

[Tim Sothard]

This is an update on an issue I finally solved. If you want a j hook wiper blade for your stock and dated bayonet style wiper arm. The upgrade is dorman part number#42631 ( j- hook wiper arm) that is for a 1994 Ford Bronco. As far as I can tell it’s an exact fit. Hope that helps somebody see more clearly

Thanks, just ordered one to check fitment.

Any updates on this? It would make life easier. I hate the bayonet blades. With the new wipers available, they don't fit like they should, and I have lost one in the rain.

I always upgrade to the 85 up squarebody arms. They have the end that sticks out at 90 degrees. If you don't want the arm mounted squirters, they come off easily.

Also, some people use longer blades. Originals are 16". The 16" blades clear plenty of windshield for me and don't overload the wiper motors and transmissions.

They fit.
Arms are a little longer than stock, but with 17” blades they swept just as low as the stock ones and an inch higher.

Update...Just drove 100 miles in the pickup this evening in a rain / snow storm. Wiper worked great. Was nice to be able to run a premium Bosch wiper assembly on it. I had one new arm with a Bosch blade and one old arm with a direct fit AC Delco for comparison. It’s nothing earth shattering but it is a novelty to be able to run the same blades that go on the wifemobile now.

Much more secure! One of the old blades just fell off the arm after I removed it.

I've got all the stuff in, but found a PO had taken the stock arms off & re-attached them somewhat cocked. Picked up a Lisle puller to help work them loose as soon as the spare time & weather conditions overlap. Hopefully will get this done to my truck soon-ish.

The puller will make it much easier!

The puller will make it much easier!

Do you have a part # for the puller?
Thanks
