How the heck do I fill it? I've read EVERY page in the manual. Does the resevor in the engine supply the front AND rear window?

Page 176 1st paragraph.

"This resevoir supplies the windshield and rear window washers".

I was referencing back to my 1989 hatch dx and it had a resevoir in the rear also".

Thanks man!

Could be clogged. Get a needle or a safety pin and poke it in the whole.

I had the same problem with my rear washer, fluid never made it to the glass, but I could see it around the hatch frame when I opened the hatch.

When I went for my first oil change the techs inspected and said the motor (pump) was bad. Replaced the whole unit under warranty!

No problem since.

I'm sorry but I can't believe you people REALLY wondered if you had to put seperate fluid in for the rear wiper....

THATS... JUST... SAD...

Did you top off your blinker fluid while you were at it??

I'm sorry. I don't WANT to be mean... i just had a bad day... :angel:

Typically sticking pin in a spray nozzle will ruin the nozzle by making the hole larger - which can cause the fluid to dribble out instead of spraying...

I wouldn't recommend the pin idea

and yeah be very careful with the pin like esmith said
