have you tried using it standing still?

the reason i ask is because i think it oculd be the aerodynamics of our cars... when bugs hit my coupe's windshield, it sometimes is just a streak of guts that looks like thin lines of goo...

its cool but like someone else said, not original.. my mom's 94 toyota previa had them as well... but those wiper blades are freaking looooooooooong.

If you gove a very brief pull to the wiper lever it will spray, but not start the arms (this is true in most cars I've driven) and give the fluid a chance to moisten the junk on the windshield. You have to get the timing right, though!

Andy, I'm with you on that, but if the wipers remain parked then where does the fluid go?

And yeah, this was a resurrection. I unintentionally clicked on the double >>, so I ended up on page 417 or something, and just kept reading......

I like the design. It helps when you want to clean the shield so you can see, but not get water all over the rest of your car. (I always use it standing still)

make sure you get some Bosch Icons or Valeo wiper blades....they make a huge difference in wiping ability...plus look dark cool.

I know someone who purposely drilled holes in his Cavalier to put those stupid lights on the hood. He got rashed on by the whole forum. LOL wadda dumb @ss.

FYI - The new Saab 9-3 and 9-5 has three washer nozzles on the hood...pretty different.

It's still nothin but a G thang

How is there a cavalier forum? If you can afford a computer and access to the internet surely you aren't driving a cavalier. only homeless people drive those.

If you are moving, it drifts up the window. Repetitive squirts help, and then I put it in the regular wipe mode. If you are at a stop, it doesn't go far and doesn't help much unless the mess is close to the wiper.
