How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for the Rear Wiper?
2 Answers
Prevent the car from moving when adding windshield washer fluid; pull the front hood release switch located under the left corner of the car to ensure it can be opened. Locate the windshield washer fluid filler port; add an appropriate amount of washer fluid, observing the fill line, and avoid overfilling—just reach the fill line. When adding windshield washer fluid, be careful not to overfill it. If there are some bubbles at the container opening, don’t worry, as it won’t affect usage. If the vehicle is in the northern region during winter, generally use antifreeze-type windshield washer fluid. If used in the southern region, typically opt for washer fluid with added insect-cleaning resin components.
Last time I helped my bestie refill the rear windshield washer fluid, it really gave me a hard time. The rear window filler port is usually located near the trunk side or rear bumper—just lift the small cap to access it. I drive an SUV, and its rear washer reservoir is actually separate from the front windshield reservoir, with the label cleverly hidden. Remember to clean any dirt around the nozzle first; when adding washer concentrate, a 1:100 ratio with purified water (as indicated on the bottle) works best. Impurities can clog the nozzle, so using a funnel is safest. Once in winter, the fluid wouldn’t spray—turns out the regular fluid I bought in the south froze up north. Now I always get the -25°C type.
