Windshield washer squirters

[lfhoward]

Hi Jeepers,

Before the pandemic I replaced the plastic windshield washer jets on the hood because they had gotten brittle and broken. I haven’t driven much since then so it hasn’t made me crazy yet, but the washer fluid is aimed all wrong. Can these things be re-aimed? (Note, the replacements are from Napa and not Mopar.)

And yup, Jeepy is in need of a wash.

They seem to be in a fixed position. What bugs me is when they get plugged with crud.
I've resorted to using a sewing needle to clean things out a bit.

The Mopar ones can be cleaned out with a sewing needle...done this a few times!

The Mopar nozzles can also be moved around to improve the aim of the water jet but do not use a brittle sewing needle as it could break off...use a pin which will bend but not break off!

Hmmm, maybe I’ll try to give these a little tweak with a pin. If I break them, I’ll replace with Mopar this time. It’s almost never worth buying aftermarket with these Jeeps. (Even if you get Mopar from a junkyard it is usually better.)

I know that with the KJs you can adjust the nozzles up/down/sideways.

I do not know if the KK can do this though!

Have you thrown your original squirters away?

Yeah, I tossed them. The bottoms where the hose attach under the hood got brittle and broke off.

I took this photo before I threw them away. But I can’t see the squirter part to be able to compare. I think they were similar in looks to the new ones.

Hallelujah. New Mopar sprayers installed. And they work.

Excellent! Ya this is about the right time to ensure the sprayers do the job well.
What are you running for winter ww fluid ?

 

[lfhoward]

I have some orange Rainex washer fluid for winter, but still using up the blue stuff in the tank. At least now it actually squirts on the windshield!

In case anyone needs it later, the KK washer nozzle part number is: 55157319AA.
