      Rear Wiper Issue

      Since I'm still getting use to the car...I'm not sure if this is something to worry about. It seems that my rear windshield wiper is having trouble. The windshield wiper fluid nozzel isn't aiming the fluid at my windshield but rather to the side so it barely hits my rear window. Is there a way I can fix it myself or do I need to use my warrenty and take it in to the dealership to have it fixed? Is the nozzel suppose to be on the side and not under the wiper?

      Stick a needle in the sprayer and adjust it yourself

      Hello, did you finally manage to aim that rear nozzle correctly?

      The problem I'm having now is that I can't seem to keep them from freezing and allowing windshield washer fluid to come out. I'm having the same problem on the front as well as the rear. Any suggestings?

      buy an "antifreeze" windshield fluid. and clean the snow and ice around the nozzles really good.
      the engine heat melting the snow off the hood elps keep the nozzles clear too.

      i dont think there is a real solution though. higher line cars have had heated nozzles for years now..
