Default Rear wiper sprayer

I tried to do a search for this problem but the SL search is a clusterf**k.

On my xB when I use the rear wiper fluid, the fluid comes out in a heavy stream instead of a spray like on the windshield.

Does everyone elses do this as well?

Thanks

in reality a spary may not work for the rear wiper since it could miss everything, but i wish it came out wider instead of the dribble

I don'tthink there's a pump in the rear, it just pushes from the front. I think that's part of the problem. Also with the backdraft, a fine spray wouldn't work well either maybe. They should've put the sprayer on the wiper arm itself. I refuse to use mine and took the wiper off. Just keep it rain-x treated and it works better than the wiper, at least in rain.

I stopped using mine altogether to. To me every time i used to use it it looked like my car was urinating on itself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That, and when the dirt got sandwiched it between the wiperblade and the glass, it scared up my back window.

And yes, the window washer fluid comes from up front.

Out of curiosity, What did you search for? Cuz I used the title of your post, selected "search for all terms" and found three posts - one was yours and another was this one that answers your exact question:

I hate it when people make me look bad.

Like a jackass I used that crappy power search function in the upper right corner of the page instead of the search in the tool bar. That power search thing is a POS

Anyway, thanks for the info guys.
