MOJITO! Wrangler JL Club

My dad just happened to tell me a washer leak story the other day. Back in the 80s he bought a full size Blazer, and the washers would leak every time he'd go around a turn, or up a hill, or something like that. He took it in and talked to the service advisor (back when they knew stuff) and the service advisor told him there was a check valve he could remove and it would no longer leak. The check valve kept the line full so that you wouldn't have to wait long after hitting the washers before fluid cam out. My dad removed the valve, and never had a leak again. He also said he never really noticed how much longer the washers took to spray fluid when activated. Maybe someone should look for a check valve on the rear washer line.

Just sayin'

I assume the rear has it's own fluid tank, just empty it if you don't need it and no leaking inside or out.

If you disconnect the nozzle that goes into the hardtop will it just leak all inside? I'm wondering where the problem is along the line.

They both use the same tank under the hood. The rear line disconnects from the hardtop so that it can be removed. It will not leak.

I'm pretty sure all of the window washer fluid comes from the same reservoir under the hood.

Right, but when it disconnects from the hardtop...there is now an end to that hose. Does the end of that hose leak or does it only leak when inserted into the hard-top? (Meaning, when connected to the hard top, does the nozzle open allowing the fluid to drip out)

Ordered May 7th. I asked dealer how FCA schedules things since I got hands on in 30days, was told just FCA dumb luck.

Did you get the dual top?

May just happen when you disconnect it to switch out the tops? Once you disconnect it you lose pressure in the line so naturally gravity will take over and the fluid will leak out. Just a thought. either that or air is getting in and there's a bad connection. Should be a closed system.

No to dual top.

Wife says go hard or go without.

No to dual top.

Thank you.

@JeepCares Is there a soft top shortage again for the people that ordered dual top? I can't think of any other reason my jeep is stuck in JB purgatory.

The rear window washer leaking problem is clearly under control at 0:31...

Good Eye! ...... and UGH!!! Come on FCA it’s the little things.

Man, reading everyones problems after looking into the Jeepcares responses makes me cringe hard. Almost debating if it makes more sense canceling entirely.

It is scary but you have to remember they are making 30k a month....this is only a small subset of all these vehicles.

Picked up at dealer tonight.

Just logged in. Great looking Jeep!! Happy for you Slyderzero1............ even though you did leap frog past me. With window sticker in hand, I should have mine soon though.
