Moonhawk Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Does anyone know where I can get replacement wiper arm mounted washer jets from? My passenger one is blocked. I have traced the tubing all the way to the wiper arm and water is getting to that point - but not getting through the washer jet itself. Looking at the jet - it seems to simply clip onto the wiper arm and so should be easy to replace. I have done some searching round but cannot seem to find replacement parts.

Lincolnbaggie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Have you tried just unblocking the nozzle with a pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Try an old tooth brush and shampoooooooo and water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Or if you have an air line, discnnect the wiper and blast some air up it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor austin Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Could try a Bicycle pump or car foot pump to blow out any debris..... maybe a can of switch cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Perhaps taking the blocked bit and soaking it in warm soapy water and then try pin/air line/bicycle pump/Jedi mindtrick to unblock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think of that - but in trying to get the jet off, one of the clips that holds it in place snapped off (they seem very brittle). If I try and remove it completely I may end up snapping all of them and would like a fall back position if this doesnt work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 How about disconnecting the hose and taking the whole wiperarm off instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 If I try and remove it completely I may end up snapping all of them If you do try again,warm the plastic up with a hair dryer first. And then hope it's not UV light that made it brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Managed to get the jet partially unblocked. Took multiple blasts with an air pump, multiple twiggles with a pin, a kettle of hot water and about an hour and a half of fiddling. Still one jet blocked - may give it another go this weekend.
