Rear wiper, excess squirt?

[Tom V]

Never been one to complain about squirting, however is it normal to get some excess squirt liquid at the base of the wiper arm?

I have just had my rear windscreen replaced so have only just noticed this.

The squirt nozzles were shooting in different directions also, however I have adjusted this.

That looks like a leak to me.

That looks like a leak to me.

Ahh does it?

Is this something that is easy to fix?

No idea - I’ve got a saloon

Looks like the jet has come loose. Lift off the black trim and push the jet back down onto the spindle.

When I try it without the wiper and nozzle it is fine with no leaks etc, shoots a straight jet.

Its only when i put back on the nozzle and wiper that I get the excess.

Mine is driving me crazy, I get the nozzle closer to the windscreen splashing within the plastic trim (looks similar to what you sent above, a foamy dribble). Very hard to sort out yourself, you need someone sitting in the car to spray the jets so you can adjust properly.

I have adjusted those nozzles finally after many litres of screen wash

Its more the excess that is coming out of the bottom! It may just need the nozzle replacing?

Think I have fixed it.

Replaced the nozzle and then adjusted it.

The washer jet seems too powerful though and bring out too much washer fluid.
