Default Rear Window Spray

The water sprayer thats on the rear wiper has no pressure at all. Basically when I pull the lever the water dribbles out. Originally it didn't work when I got it because the line was broken just out from the water reservoir. I used a tight fitting plastic pipe to connect it, but there was no pressure, only dribbling once the water got all the way through. The front sprayers are fine and have plenty of pressure so I'm confused as to what could be the cause. Is this a common problem or has anyone else experienced it. Any advice appreciated.

hook it up to an air compressor, will certainly clear any crap out the pipes

It could aslo be the sprayer on thw rear windowm washer. Where it comes out that could be messed up,i replaced mine once cause it broke off the wiper. If i can recall the part was like $15 dollars,it was a rip off imo.

I took that part off and used a thin pin to clean the holes out. It went from not working at all, to working perfectly.

Had the same problem. Disconect it at the back and at the resevoir and clean it with an air compressor. Clean the nozzle with that too. It should do the job.

Thanks for the replies. I'll get back when I have my hands on an air compressor.

where do I disconnect each end? I think I can probably figure out the rear end, but I have no idea where the front end of the tube would be.

edit: the rear end comes out the center of the rear wiper hinge and goes to the sprayer. the front end is right on the pump connector to the washer fluid reservoir.

I popped off the sprayer jets from the wiper arm and cleaned that out, and I tried the sprayer briefly with the jets removed and some gunk came out of the tube, but not much. The sprayer nozzle was definitely the problem, and carefully cleaning that out, my rear sprayer works again.
