Do most people here have a working rear wiper?

My has been broken for at least 5 years

not sure if its worth it to get a new motor and/or switch

I took my rubber hose off so when people creep up my aiss i squirt them in their windshields and they back off, but than when i went to put it back on i broke the nipple coming from the mechanism. So now its only good for squirting not cleaning, so it works half ***

IMO, this is one of the more useful mods you can do to an XJ. And way more effective than the rear wiper in its OEM configuration.

My wiper works... After I changed the motor, anyway. The squirter doesn't work though. After reading phoenix's post I REALLY want to get that fixed now! LOL

Anybody know where the rear washer pump is on a 90 XJ? Gotta make a "tailgater surprise" now and I'm not gonna be happy until I'm pissing on a BMW's windshield!


D@MN! Wife was reading over my shoulder and she said I have to fix it right! But she didn't say I couldn't add another one to **** on windshields...

my wiper works but the squiter spits out the back. If I go 65 the spray gets the back window good enough tho. So it all works sorta.
