Nozzle, Washer: Description: Rear
The fluidic rear washer nozzle (2) is constructed of molded plastic with an integral metal orifice insert (3). The rear washer nozzle is integral to the rear wiper motor output shaft and is visible through a cutout in the rear wiper arm nut cover (1) on the upper left corner of the outer rear lift glass. The nozzle orifice is oriented toward the lower path of the rear wiper blade on the lift glass and moves in concert with the rear wiper motor output shaft and the rear wiper arm.
The rear washer nozzle receives washer fluid through the rear wiper motor output shaft. Washer fluid is supplied to the rear wiper motor through the hardtop washer hose (3) which is connected to a molded plastic barbed fitting (2) on the motor transmission housing (1) on the upper left corner of the inner rear lift glass. The washer supply hose and rear wiper motor are concealed on the inside of the lift glass by a molded plastic trim cover.
The rear washer nozzle cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the rear wiper motor unit must be replaced.
