X3. Original wiper arms do not have Made in China on them. PPI owes you a refund, Teal Cobra.

The wiper arms that you bought were arms that were shipped to us from Ford via their OE vendor in the late '90s.
They are not advertised or sold as NOS. We have sold original Ford arms that were made in Canada, Great Britain and yes, China.

Not disputing that Ford may have used Chinese derived parts as OE, but I know that I'd be a little miffed to find that out after purchase instead of before!
