Rear window fluid dripping

[Brand0n]

I just washed the jeep tonight, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a shot tomorrow, as it happens EVERY DAMN DAY

Overnight status report: After getting home, cleaning off the streaks and pushing out some of the access fluid from the line directly behind the nozzle, there were no streaks or signs of leaking. Will see how it does after sitting in the sun for 8 hours.

If you just washed your wrangler, and dont want the drip, and dont plan on using the rear spray, pinching the line behind the nozzle, and wiping off what comes out seems to at least prevent it from coming out all the time.

Hope that works for some.

Man I feel like an idiot that I didn't just unlug it and cap it. On my last 5 Jeeps I've literally never once had a need to use the rear washer. Granted the last one had the big ass AEV Fuel Caddy so the rear windshield was useless. So my permanent solution is just unplug the hardtop disconnect for life, thanks @JLSpartan for the nod to common sense

Can someone post a photo of this?

Same. I've already had the dealer look at it. My windshield wiper stalk came apart in my hand, that's when I took it in and told them to fix my stuff. I get new parts sometime in July. :/

Good information, keep us posted. I've yet to take it in, thinking nothing much would really be done at this time. Do you have any pictures of what happened to the stalk?

Hope you get your parts soon!

omg, that's nuts! Was it done with excessive pressure or just kinda happened?

It was my first road trip and needed the windshield wipers for the first time. I didn't know what to twist pull or push (lol) so I tried everything. A gentle pull and it came apart.

Mine drips as well. I already stopped by the dealer. I also called JeepWave they advise me to contact the dealer as soon as possible so they can at least document that it came from the factory like this, if not they may not cover it under the warranty.
Also my tailgate door latch is loose and wiggles from side to side.

Have the same issue. It’s annoying after you wash the Jeep.

I also have this issue and only 1300 miles. I know on my old JK it would only leak if I hit the front cleaners quickly because of the pressure or something.

Unfortunately, this issue isn't present after spraying washer fluid to clean the window. It is present at all times. The nozzle just constantly leaks washer fluid down the rear window. I would be somewhat understanding of a few small drips of residual fluid after spraying the nozzle, that makes total sense. But to have it constantly dripping all the time should not be normal.

agree I have the same issue

agree I have the same issue

I posted earlier about squeezing the tube behind the glass to get some of the access fluid out. After I did that once, i have not had access fluid come out until i start using the nozzle again.

Maybe if it constantly drips, even after getting the access out, this might be a different issue.

I think it only drips a while after it is used, it is unrelated to washing the Jeep.
