A wiper arm seal in a car is an essential component that helps to protect the wiper mechanism from water and debris. It is a rubber or plastic seal located at the base of the wiper arm, where it attaches to the windshield. The main purpose of the seal is to prevent water, snow, dirt, and other particles from entering the wiper assembly and causing damage to the wiper motor or wiper linkage system.

The wiper arm seal also plays a crucial role in maintaining the effectiveness of the wiper blades. By creating a tight seal between the wiper arm and the windshield, it ensures that the wiper blades remain in contact with the glass surface and can effectively wipe away any moisture, dirt, or debris that obstructs the driver's view. In addition to protecting the wiper mechanism and enhancing visibility, the seal also contributes to reducing the potential for wind noise and vibrations that can be caused by an improper seal between the wiper arm and the windshield.
