Joined the forum a few days ago, hoping to find a solution to a minor problem with my 2012 Wrangler. The rear windshield wiper nozzle will not spray wiper fluid onto the window. Most of it gets sprayed onto the rear brake light and spare tire. Someone from another forum suggested, if possible, using a needle to adjust the spray nozzle.. Anyone have a similar issue and any possible solutions?

Thanks in advance for any info or ideas.

Gene

Welcome to the forum.. I have done that on some windshield spray nozzles .. not experiencing on our 13.. a straight pin or safety pin and attempt to move / pivot the squirt hole. Being cautious it should be a success or no go.

Welcome to the forum... as far as the plugged up nozzle... a pin might work? The other option would be to remove the hose and use air from a compressor to blow through the nozzle and dislodge the dirt. It could also be hose- I had a rear wiper on an XJ that got plugged several tiems and I found a hose was coming apart on the inside...replaced that section and it was good to go.

The needle tip worked and the fluid is now getting onto the windshield. Thanks for the help and the welcomes.
