Rear Window Sprayer?
Hey guys, on my '82 coupe at the top of the hatch is a painted over hole with small squared notches on the top and bottom of the hole. I know there is "supposed" to be a sprayer there but mine is gone. I have seen the black rubber hose that comes out of the body and goes into the hatch itself, so that is still there. My *** on the left side of the dash for the rear wiper is still there and I belive it to be fully functional. I know if I pull it the wiper comes on but I can also twist it to the right I belive and it feels spring loaded as it returns on its own...is this to spray the rear window?
On that note, is there a second bottle to fill with washer fluid or does the system share the same bottle? Lastly, where can I get a functioning sprayer for the rear hatch? I have been to four salvage yards in 2 days and can't find ANY that are still on the cars or not broken. I want to keep my rear wiper and I think it would be nice to have the ability to spray it when needed cause I use the rear wiper just about ever time I am in the car. I had a thought and I will run it by you all, the parts store sells sprayers, the ones that mount on the hood and thread from the bottom. Can I use something like this, what I mean is, does the factory sprayer just have the fluid caonnection? I can make my own sealed mounting surface for it if need be. I just want to make sure there are no electrical connections to worry about.
Thanks guys...or gals.
