| The windshield wiper assembly will not function due to poor design of the pivot/bracket assembly, the unit will bend easily under any resistance, the material used is weak and flimsy, this happens to the right side of the wiper assembly causing poor visibility, all trucks are right side drive. *mjs | |||
