Wiper arm washers installed

[Lil' Dog]

Well after getting the bug deflector on, the OEM washer jet performance was useless. Any speed over 15 mph and the fluid ends up on the hood. And, the turbulance makes the wipers skip. I had the same problem on my 89 but did the same fix I did here.



The wiper arm jets are from an 89 DC Van and were cheap. Then some 3/32 washer tubing, 5/32 to 1/8 tubing connectors, zip ties and some 1/4 plastic instrument tubing and voila. . 25 minutes and I have "wet arm" wipers. Works great now that the salt and snow are coming. Just for extra force on the wipers installed "Sure-Wipe" wiper arm springs to keep the wipers on the glass and got steel framed wipers.



I have to steal the digital camera for some pics and I have all the part #'s for it if anyone is interested.

That sounds great. I've wanted to do that for a long time. If you could post part #'s that would be great

Thanks Mike

Part #'s

The washer nozzles are DC # 03799695 @ $6. 55 Cdn. so about $. 50 US LOL... ,

The tubing and adapters I got at UAP/NAPA The 5/32 to 1/8 were # 28592 and the tubing came in a 72" roll. Zip ties, black of course. The 1/4 instrument tubing was just laying around the shop and the 3/32 tubing slips inside so you don't crush it with the zip-ties.



Photos to follow.
