Nozzle-Liftgate Washer

REMOVAL

NOTE: The rear washer nozzle latch feature is a one time component, and will be damaged if the nozzle is removed from its mounting hole for service. If removed from its mounting hole for any reason, the rear washer nozzle must be replaced with a new unit.




1. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry at the bottom of the rear washer nozzle (2) to release the latch feature that secures it in the mounting hole of the liftgate outer panel (3).
2. Pull the rear washer nozzle out from the liftgate outer panel far enough to access the washer hose (1).
3. Disconnect the hose from the barbed nipple on the back of the nozzle.
4. Discard the nozzle.
