Hey there peeps. I seem to have noticed another problem. My rear windshield wiper doesn't spray like it's supposed to. It's sorta clogged, and releases only a few drops of water that smudge the dirt even more. I already tried using a needle to clear out the output, but it looks like the clot is deeper. So are there any solutions to this? __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

I've used a needle many times. It works great. | | | | | 08-18-2008, 10:58 PM | #3 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
Just be careful with the needle and make sure you don't pop the tiny metal ball out of the socket. It might fall onto the pavement below and roll down the hill and into a ditch before you can spot it. Not that I've ever seen that happen. LOL __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

Well apparently this clot is deeper than the needle can reach. Otherwise it would've been fixed by now. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Just throwing out suggestions since I've had... I mean... I know someone who had issues with that nozzle. :-D
Thinner needle? Thin piece of wire? Put a drop of something like WD-40 on the nozzle? The WD-40 might be a b***h to get of of the glass, so maybe you should take the nozzle completely off first, and then clean it well afterwards. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

w00t finally got it cleaned! Removed the nozzle and used the needle on where the hose connects. It had sooooo much gunk in it. Works like new now  __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

It took you about 2 months to do this.  I cleaned mine out as soon as i noticed the gunk build up. Took me a while to adjust the sprayer right. I don't really use it though. | | | | | 10-21-2008, 11:53 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
Heh, didn't really think about much till today when my rear widow got real foggy. Edit: Bad news..... I'm gonna have to remove the wiper so that clamps on the hartge spoiler can fit on.  __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
