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 ***

I cant complain not having it working..just use rainex works just fine

In winter i use the defrost and a scraper, in rain I can still see pretty good

only thing left on my XJ that doesn't work but those motors are expensive

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.
