GEN 2 Windshield Wiper Reservoir Clog Problem

[JohnyPython]

Why would you spray isopropyl alcohol on your truck. If you are using water just spray until it’s empty or use a pump or turkey baster to empty the tank. And refill with some quality fluid. Rainx works great.

Rain X -45* is great all year fluid. I give a squirt in the rain and water beads up nice. Won’t freeze in winter and does a great job of cleaning the winter ***** off.

I also uses the same. It works wonder all year and it’s cheap.

Siphon all the fluid out (fish tank hose) - buy RainX for winter (won’t freeze)

I agree with all the guys above, Rain-X is the shit! If I'm on the highway in a light rain I don't even need my wipers on.

Is the pump even in the reservoir ? I think odds are it will never cause a problem.

I agree. That's why I decided it will proabably be okay to leave it if I cannot get it out with the claw grabber I think,

I’m not sure what you’re identifying, but after a couple reads through your post it sounds like a job for this:

How bout just use normal friggin windshield washer fluid all
The time? What is the point of “summer” friggin washer fluid never even heard of it!?!? And the reason windshield washer fluid doesn’t freeze - as you’ve noted - is all the alcohol in it, guess what alcohol is also really damn good at? Cleaning stuff! Especially glass lol!!

Leaving tube in there ain’t gonna do anything. The chain/inner plastic cap that was attached to the gas cap on my lawnmower came off & sunk to the bottom of the tank years ago- can’t get it out - don’t care doesn’t do anything- and that’s w/ a little metal chain attached
