wiper w/washer nozzles in blade - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jlmtrout · 08-19-2004, 01:30 AM

Does anybody remember what cars came with the washer nozzles in the wiper arm? It seems like some trucks had 'em also if I remember correctly.

I can't seem to get my stock nozzles aimed and tightened down properly, I either shoot washer fluid over the top of the cab or directly into the wiper blade. I know some foreign cars have the nozzles in the hood, but this isn't a foreign car and I don't want to start drilling holes in an otherwise perfect hood. Thanks to all who have a better memory than mine. Good luck and keep on truckin'.................Jerry

My buddy's 91 burb has em, they are reallly cool, and if he gets rid of the truck, I plan to get them from him first :P

That sure would be nice...mine didn't work when I bought my GMC (SURPRISE!!!!1) but when I hooked up my CarQuest pump, the spray hit the wiper blades. Wtf? So I tried to adjust it, but they shot over the cab, like you said. I finally got it to spray right over top of the wipers at rest, which happens to be way high on the w/s, and partially above it. No thanks!

Thanks Russell, I'll start looking for a 'Burb to use as a donor.

Before you spend the money, check on the length of the arms as most newer vehicles have much bigger windshields and much longer arms, something that is not easy to shorten.

I had an 86 C10 pickup and an 86 Suburban and they were both on the wiper blade. I think they were 16". Hope this helps.

The 70's/80's Dodge vans had that too.

Dean · 08-19-2004, 09:49 AM

My 85 C20 has that.

dallas71 · 08-19-2004, 10:03 AM

The Corsica had them also and i believe that they were
clip-on type of fitting......

My 74 Vette has them as well. Also the Chev 1 tons up to 92 had them (from around '85), before the body style change.
