Default Rear window wiper arm

When I bought my XJ, I noticed the rear wiper sprayer was a bit off. Everything works fine as far as the switch and motor. It was just how it sprayed was what I was curious about. It was spraying like a fountain and barely getting the fluid on the window. I looked at it and noticed there was a zip tie holding the hose on to the wiper arm. There is nothing really regulating the "spray direction". This can't be right! Right?

I'll take a picture so you all can see what I'm talking about. I want to make sure this isn't correct before I buy a replacement.

V/r,

Yep, you should have a little nozzle on the end to have the spray fan out.

If I recall my 93XJ had a clip that mounted on to the wiper arm. i had to secure it with a zip tie to keep it in the ocrrect position. 3JeepGuy

From the sounds of it, I think I might need a new arm.

This is what I have:

Yeah, I figured as much. I need to order the new wiper arm assembly. Lucky I found it for like $40!

Thanks all!

Why buy the whole arm if all you need is the nozzle? Like 91 limited owner said just go to the JY and pick up the tip.
