howards11 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm having a strange problem with the REAR windshield washer on my 2000 Forester. One side shoots out the fluid and the other side seems clogged. Does anyone have a repair or solution to this problem ? Can the nozzle be replaced ? I know it's minor but it annoys me. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If you can blow compressed air backwards through the nozzle. You will need to disconnect the hose first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOthis Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 +1^..compressed air works well for me...or if you have like a needle or sometimes a t-pin will work you can get it in there and kind of work it around.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howards11 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks for the answers. I'm going to try and clean out the nozzle this weekend once it gets warmer. Question: Can the nozzle be replaced if necessary ? ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You should be able to find one at a subaru dealer, or used. easy to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howards11 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Now here's the odd part. The weather got warmer and now EVERYTHING woks fine. Maybe the washer fluid I used froze up ? I don't understand that except maybe the fluid separated or was somehow "defective". The sweet mysteries of Subaru ! ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
