Rear window water jet refill

Where is this? Or does the front and rear squirter source from the same bottle?

They both come from the same bottle but via two different pumps. A problem with the back one is that it doesn't get a lot of use so the line tends to get cloged and it's not an easy thing to clean. It runs through the roof so when the water evaporates, any sediment is left in the line and dries out.

It's possible to clean it out, usually its the lines that block up more so than the nozzle.

To access it you need to be a little rough...

As gently as possible peel/tear back the lining that runs just underneath the headlining along the inside top rear or the roof at the tailgate end. The line runs through here down the left hand side of the inner paneling.

I got that trim peeled away, was able to use a very small flat blade screw driver and unclip the nozzle, pull it out of the line and pull the line through as far as possible. Then replace it with new hose or clean it out with compressed air from either the motor end or by splicing it and then rejoining it with something like a vacuum hose joiner later.

Its a pain in the ass, but the only way you'll ever get it to work... its technically a rwc requirement.

to put that trim under the headlining back id use some super glue or something similar / better.
