Rear screen washer fix (bodge!) | |
Thanks to all the forum members for their advice and suggestions. My rear washer was putting more water into the car than outside. To the point where the dogs were not happy! Sadly I also found that the shaft was so corroded that a new seal wouldn't stop the leak. I should be ashamed of my "fix" but it has proven to be very effective and cost nothing!
I removed the spoiler wiper and motor. Disconnected the hose and removed the grommet from the glass. Found a piece of pvc tubing that was a tight fit in the rubber hose and carefully removed a section of the grommet for the hose to fit into. Reassembled with the grommet cut out at the top with about an inch of tube protruding. Water now hits the spoiler and and does an excellent job cleaning the screen.
