Default xB windshield washer nozzle / Winshield wipers

I have a 04' xB and I was thinking, the 05'/06' Camry has an awesome washer nozzle which sprays a mist. Now the question is, you guys think I can order one from the parts dept. and just do a swap? Yeah and swap the xb front nozzle to the rear. What you guys think.

My passenger wiper blade has finally ripped 3 inches, my wipers served good three years through rain, snow, bird crap, bugs, and dirt. I have read that it's best to use a matching refill meaning same brand blade with same brand refill. Should I just get the Toyota refill or a new aftermarket blade.

I don't know about the noxxle thing but forget about going to the dealer for the rear wiper, from what I remember they charge 30 bucks for a 12 inch blade refill. Just go to autozone or something and do it yourself. Takes under five minutes. I made mine from a bigger wiper blade. I just check it every once in a while to make sure it's intact.

because of the way they are made, the front can't go to the back...why do you want to do that anyway? The 06s' rear nozzle has 2 outlets if thats the reason.

It may work but I doubt the nozzle size is the same and it would probably require altering your hood. I put Cavalier nozzles on the wiper arms of my civic when I had a CF hood and it worked better then OEM.

I suppose you could mount a hood nozzle on the rear window, but you'd need a wedge to get the right angle. Unless you want to spray the road or tailgaters...

The front and the rear nozzle for 04' xB is adjustable. I use to use a blunt thin metal object like an allen wrench to point it to the desire spot of the windshield wiper. I really like the camry's washer nozzle to spary an even fine mist across the windshield.

I've got a better question - is it possible to replace the rear spray nozzle on an '05 with the rear nozzle from an '06?

My current nozzle just doesn't cut it, but my sister-in-law's '06 (yes, I convinced her to buy one, too) is a dream come true...

...so how do I get one? :D

p.s. YOU KNOW YOU DRIVE AN xB WHEN...YOU RESORT TO MODDING YOUR WINDSHIELD SPRAY NOZZLES, BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY MODDED EVERYTHING ELSE

Funny....

"p.s. YOU KNOW YOU DRIVE AN xB WHEN...YOU RESORT TO MODDING YOUR WINDSHIELD SPRAY NOZZLES, BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY MODDED EVERYTHING ELSE"

But...
Not true, people like myself try to fix what's wrong, that's all. The suspension is too soft for my preference, not sporty enough. The engine, oh well, can't really do anything to it without forking out couple month's of paycheck. And the sound system isn't bad at all, I just added another box within a bigger box.

My thoughts....
I wonder how many box fanatics like myself will run out and buy another one before they get rid of it. There's nothing wrong with the box...maybe a 1.8 VVTL-I.
