Ford EscapeThe Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.
My wife lost the rear wiper on her '07 Escape. I'm trying to find a replacement. It looks like it is different from both the '06 and '08 versions and even the service/parts people don't know what to tell me.
My basic question is this ... how does the new arm attach? The parts guy thinks it has a clip that snaps in when you push the new arm on the splined shaft. The service guy hasn't worked on a '07, but he thinks that the shaft from the motor is broken and the whole assembly needs to be replaced.
Parts guy says they are both special order items and can't be returned, so I want to figure this out before ordering anything.
I would also appreciate if anyone knows if there are any other replacements (from other models?) that are interchangable with this.
