Yoou know, the S2000 is really bad when it comes to overspray of the WW fluid.

I always wanted to turn the rear window sprayer around in my SUV, just for those special occasions.

I find it doesn't really clear things like bugs, just makes them streak more.

So I just wait until I get home and use some glass cleaner on it.

Oh yeah, forget bugs. I find it is good for road dust and dirt thought. You probably wash your car a lot more than me.

you gotta get them when they are fresh!


Squirt once, to smoosh the bug guts in a wider area and make them easier to remove when you hit it the second time with a good long blast that flushes all the previously smooshed guts off of the car!

I only have trouble when I let them sit and they get cooked into the glass.

Back in High School, we had an '88 Buick Century wagon (my brother and I) It actually was in decent shape, and it had character (and a 3.8 V6 that could smoke tires and embarrass most ricer kids, so it held its own despite having faux wood paneling.)

But it had a rear wiper with a spray nozzle. The best part, though, was that it had a completely separate reservoir and pump from the windshield nozzle, so I could just fill it with water. I unclipped the hose that fed to the spray nozzle and turned it around, but I didn't put the sprayer onto the end of the tube. So you could really hose people down with a good stream, all from a dashboard switch.

It was surprisingly useful in the HS parking lot...

Once a week, on average.

Honda, who designed my convertible top so that water pours into the car when I lower my window in the rain.
I second that. I got stuck last night driving back from RI in that thundering rain.
