I continue to address comfort/drivability projects on the teener. I plan on driving the car a lot this year and need operational windshield washers.
When I filled up the reservoir and connected the stock system to the spare tire, all the fluid leaked out below the gas tank and deflated the spare tire. My question is...is the stock system worth sorting out and using for DD purposes or should I just go with a pump? Thanks! |

Here's an article from the Bird, it looks like the conversion would be a fair amount of work: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...tric_washer.htm
I spent some time trying to make my OEM system work many years ago when the check valve and the rubber hoses were still in good condition. I didn't have much success. |

I didn't have much success. The only problem with a 924 switch is the angle of it brings the handle closer to the steering wheel. Not a real big deal, but if you have big hands you tend to hit the switch when making turns sometimes, or when auto-crossing. |
