Do the washers emit a fine mist of cleaning fluid to the windscreen, or just an irritating stream?

reminds me of going to the bathroom




















the shower head does that

 

[atyclb]

does the Elise have washer jets/fluid?

 

[James A]

Well I can tell you this, if it's not a fine mist I want my deposit back! Well I guess a medium mist would be OK, but not a stream. I'll put up with a lot but not the stream.
Oh wait, I never installed the window washers on my Seven, too much weight,,,,, never mind.

Oh!

 

[Arno]

2 simple water jets. Nothing fancy.

Doesn't work too well either because the windscreen is angled so much that 'aiming' them is really tricky and at speed the water is sometimes carried over the window without hitting it

Also, the windscreen washer bottle is small, so it's empty quickly.

Some people in europe fitted the washers from a Peugeot, which uses a pipe with small holes that's fitted to the wiper arm itself and sprays directly on the window.

Seems to work fine, but uses a lot of water so the water bottle is empty even sooner..

Bye, Arno.

I had a 67 Firebird that had the passenger sprayer shoot a stream straight out to the right of the car. That was fun for smart azzes in Camaros and Mustangs (hey, I was 16).

For the Elise, who cares? If I know it's going to rain I'll take my Spyder, if it rains on me in the Elise, I'll muddle through.

Man, those cars better come soon because these topic are getting more and more stupid.

:huh:

Have we completely run out of everything about this car to talk about??? Now we're talking about the windshield washing capabilities???????:huh:

WHERE ARE THE NOZZLES!

I MUST KNOW NOW!!!!!!!

 

[Randy Chase]

And can you put those cool blue lights in them?

Anyone else use Rain-X?

 

[mikester]

Ooh yeah, Rain-X is good stuff. Makes the windscreen nice and slippery, as long as you're moving you really don't even need to use the wipers.

You should have a prostate exam. Just be sure to take some flowers to the doc, since, just like Star Trek, he'll be "going where no man has gone before" (hopefully). :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

[atyclb]

no, really...where are they?

 

[brentil]

There's probably one in the windshield wiper arm. I've seen several cars, especially single arm wiper ones with it there.

 

[Randy Chase]

Look here-

I don't see them. Perhaps they live under the hood/clam/bonnet/thingie.

There's no hose going to the blade area via the arm so it must come from beneath the bodywork.

LOL While this thread is going absolutley nowhere fast He's my stupid thought "How much does it weigh?" Sounds like some parts I can live without

That was why I used Rain-X on my MR2. I drained the washer fluid out to save weight.

 

[Surferjer]

You're smart, Randy. and then you don't have to sweat filling it up later, too

 

[xxxotic]

Does the wiper arm go from left to right or from right to left. Is the federalized version wired to run in the opposite direction since the driver is on the other side.?


We are so bored that I am surprised no one has mentioned what the capacity of the window waher bottle is.

If you use rain-x on the windows, then why do the make orange colored rain-x in half gallon jugs for use instead of window washer fluid.
