2008 Rear Window Sprayer: Spray or Stream?

Post by jamesmovespeople »

Took my Vibe into the dealer because the rear spritzer doesn't spray, it streams. Two jets covering the central quarter of the rear window. No mist, no spray, just a stream. They replaced it, and now it streams in a bit wider pattern, but still jets. Service manager tried the sprayer on a 2009, and same deal: streams. Is this normal?

Yes, very normal. Be glad you do not have an 03. The rear squirter was one stream, no mist. Later changed on 2004 and up to two. I have updated my rear squirter to the two stream part. Makes a big differenece in the winter.

Mine has two streams. I wish it was more of a spray.
