Nozzle, Washer: Description: Rear
The fluidic rear washer nozzle (1) is constructed of molded plastic and includes an integral check valve. The rear washer nozzle is secured by two integral latch features (4) within a dedicated mounting hole located in the outer liftgate panel above the liftgate glass opening.
The outer dome of the washer nozzle is visible on the outside of the liftgate and a rubber gasket (3) on the back of the nozzle seals the nozzle to the outer liftgate panel. The nozzle orifice (2) is oriented downwards towards the liftgate glass. The washer plumbing fitting (5) is concealed between the liftgate outer and inner panels. Within the rear nozzle body, a small check ball is held against an integral valve seat at the inlet end of the nozzle by a small coiled spring.
The rear washer nozzle and check valve unit cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire nozzle and check valve unit must be replaced.
