The rear washer nozzle is a fluidic-type unit constructed of molded plastic. See Fig 1. The nozzle is secured by a snap fit in a dedicated mounting hole located in the rear edge of the roof panel above the rear flip-up glass opening and to the right of the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) unit. A rubber gasket on the back of the nozzle seals the nozzle to the roof panel opening. The back of the nozzle includes an integral alignment feature on the left side, an integral engagement tab on the top, an integral latch feature on the bottom, and the washer plumbing nipple which are all concealed between the outer roof panel and the rear roof inner header. The rear washer nozzle latch feature is a one time component, and will be damaged if the nozzle is removed from its mounting hole for service. The rear washer nozzle cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire nozzle unit must be replaced.
