lol, i wish i have what u have, my rear window wiper only works wen it feels like it and i get no water from there lol!!!
cant u aim the shooter at the window any more?
good idea!!!! i suppose it must twist around a little more, i will aim it to shoot at the middle of the window.
stick a pin in your washer thing its prob just clogged with dirt. and make sure when you want the water to come out you pull the wiper stalk in car towards you and hold it there for a while.
If I try to use my rear wiper all the crap just gets smeared across the window, which isn't useful. No water comes out the washer and I can never be arsed to try to figure out why. :lol:

lol ive tries the pin thing but it sounds like the motors not even workin, oh well, im not really too fussed anyways just as long as the wiper somethimes works
I have no rear wiper, only time i use rear window is when merging with traffic on coventry's inner ring road (pain in the ass, have to physically turn and look behind you), use side mirrors on the road, can't see more than a few foot with rear view mirror

mine wipes but no water at all comes out :x and as said, you can't see chuff all out the back anyway with it being lowered :lol:
got water and it wipes but doesnt clean the top part of the window only the bottom, the wiper doesnt have the concave in it to wipe the rain/snow/shit off it
my back wiper doesnt work ne more!!! it gave up bout 3 months ago!

It'll probably be dirty connections just have a fiddle with them and it will start working. I'm getting rid of my rear wash wipe as unless the car behind is 2 feet off my bumper I can't see them anyway.
See ya

You can get water on it? :shock:
How does lowering your car stop you ladies seeing out the back?? :?
Mine is slammed 60mm all round and I can see the same distance/amount as before.
Are you only lowering the rear but leaving the front how it is??
so really the back wipers are pointless coz they dont bloody work so i think we should all just have them smoothed off and have a smooth boot. :lol:

front of mine is lower than the rear by a small amount, and i can see **** all out the back unless a car is about 5 foot away, my rear view mirror is angled so that i can just about see if i duck down a bit.
mines fahookin low and i can see crap all out the back, but if i duck down its not so bad, depends how tall u are!
Yes im from chelmsford. i cant get the picture of my car up for some reason. its black, slammed, very noisey and im a blonde girl if that helps!
dont go out much in it apart from work coz have a cutting out problem which is embrassing!
if you are the same person im thinking of with a white 16v i think i have seen you. Work at broomfield hospital? or park in there alot!

All I can see in my mirror is a bit of road and the rear of the headlining lol.
See ya

You can adjust where it sprays if you put a drawing pin in the nozzle and move it around.
If your wipe is intermittant or doesn't work its probably the relay. They go after a while. It's hidden in the passenger footwell

just take it off, and smooth in the boot! problem solved. :wink:
Where is the spray nozzle located?
on phase 2's its part of the hinge assemble where the rear wiper attatches to the boot, kinda all in one job!
On teh ph1 its a seperate nozzle by whrere the wipre blade is
On the ph2 its built into the rubber grommet that the spindle from teh wiper motor pases through
