Driving safely starts with clear visibility, and nothing delivers that better than genuine OEM components. Welcome to our GM Genuine Parts Wiper Arms category, where you'll find high-quality replacements like the 84372499 Black Driver Side Windshield Wiper Arm, engineered specifically for GM vehicles. These wiper arms are crafted to meet rigorous factory standards, providing streak-free wiping and long-lasting performance even in harsh conditions.
Why GM Genuine Parts Wiper Arms Stand Out
GM Genuine Parts represents the pinnacle of automotive reliability, as these are official OEM components straight from General Motors. Unlike aftermarket alternatives, they guarantee a precise fit for your specific model, eliminating guesswork during installation. This category focuses on driver-side wiper arms, essential for maintaining optimal blade pressure and coverage on the windshield's larger area.
The standout product here, the 84372499 Black Driver Side Windshield Wiper Arm, features a sleek black finish that matches factory aesthetics, robust construction to withstand extreme temperatures, and aerodynamic design to reduce wind lift at highway speeds. Buyers appreciate how these arms integrate seamlessly with compatible GM wiper blades, ensuring smooth operation year-round.
Key Features to Consider When Shopping
When selecting a wiper arm from this category, prioritize compatibility with your vehicle's make and model—GM Genuine Parts excels here with vehicle-specific engineering. Look for:
- Durable Materials: Corrosion-resistant steel and protective coatings for longevity.
- Easy Installation: Snap-on or bolt designs that require minimal tools, often under 10 minutes.
- Performance Enhancements: J-hook or pin-style attachments for secure blade hold and even pressure distribution.
- Aesthetic Match: Factory-color finishes to maintain your GM's premium look.
These features make GM Genuine Parts ideal for everyday drivers facing rain, snow, or debris, restoring like-new wiping performance without compromising safety.

Whether you're replacing a damaged arm from an accident or upgrading faded originals, these OEM parts deliver. For instance, the 84372499 model suits various GM sedans and trucks, providing the driver-side coverage needed for confident highway driving.

In head-to-head comparisons, GM arms outperform in endurance tests, thanks to superior materials and GM's decades of engineering expertise.
