2G Rear window sprayer nozzle removal

[farmer890]

How do I remove the rear window sprayer nozzle? I want to inspect why it won't spray fluid.

When I hit the washer button, I hear the pump nice and loud and I can see fluid moving through the lines but not a drop comes out of the nozzle.

Just hooked up the compressor to the line that feeds the nozzle, blew out some fluid then I heard a loud POP and can now hear air rushing around inside the the headliner *sigh* mystery solved.

Edit: got the interior stripped back, put the compressor to the 90 elbow there and blew some more crud out of the nozzle. The washer pump doesn't have enough pressure to spray out the nozzle, it just kind of leaks out of the back of the nozzle. Seems she's clogged right up.

Fixed! Issue turned out to be that the hose was kinked right at the nozzle. To remove the nozzle, rotate clockwise 90° then pull upwards.

I cut out the kink, then had a friend hold the feed line from moving (on the underside of the hatch) while I reinstalled the nozzle.

The reason for having my friend immobilize the hose while I reinstalled the nozzle is so that the nozzle wouldn't just "rekink" again. This is key.

So if your rear sprayer doesn't work but your pump does, this is likely the issue. Explains why air from my compressor would blow through the nozzle but fluid from the pump wouldn't.
