| DIY: Rear windshield nozzle SUPER SOAKER! Well, since I've taken off my rear wiper, I have no need for this rear wiper nozzle, so I decided to do this:
- Open the hatch, you will see a black plastic cover over the third brake light.
-pull straight down, and the cover will come off, exposing 2 10mm screws. once the screws are taken out, pull off the 3rd brake light, and undo the wiring harness.
-you will now see your washer nozzle, with a rubber hose going to it. (NOTE: My rubber hose is going the opposite way of yours, because I already flipped it!)
-with a finger on one side, and a flathead screwdriver on the other, push in 2 tabs, and PUSH the nozzle to the outside
-then flip the nozzle around, so the outlets are pointing up, and push the nozzle back in the hole, making sure the tabs re-engaged
-make sure the rubber hose is not kinked
-reattach the brake light, and the cover, then proceed to spray people lol.
NOTE: I did this on my friends ride yesterday, he has a 2006.5, while mine's a 2006. His rear nozzle has 2 outlets, so it sprays both ways. While mine has a single outlet.
The nozzles are adjustable. Just take a safety pin, and move the outlet around. |

| Almost wish I didn't have the rear wing now! I did that to my 65 Mustang years ago. Installed an aftermarket pump in the pony emblem. I would hit it when I was at a red light and put some water on the back window of the car in front of me. They couldn't figure out where it came from. Big fun! |

That one stream makes it possible to hit cars in front of me. |

| would it be better to point it up and let the wind take care of the rest, or back? |

| hmm, even though I have a wing I may have to try this. If I just shot it up into the air while driving the wind should be able to handle the rest  |
