Mine worked great for the first 4 years and then just craped out on me? If that's the only problem I have I will be very happy and thus far it has been.

Damn. I don't think I've ever used mine on my Cobra.

I just have a bottle of windshield washer fluid in a spray bottle and I wipe it down with a rag. Less scratches and no nasty dirt stains.

haha nice. Is your cobra your DD? Or do you have other cars too???


This is my DD so I try to have as much stuff working as possible. Sometimes my parents drive it and they use everything and get confused when stuff doesn't work

Nah, I have a new Nissan Titan for DD/Work. I only take my car out a couple times a week, if that.

okay so on rainy days you don't drive it. So your car never gets a chance to get that dirty.


I'm 19 and in college, so this stang is by no means my last one. It gets driven almost year round, but I hope I will have a winter beater by the end of this summer.

When I'm done with school and have a full time job, I have my eyes on a cobra like yours. Very nice car!


but yeah the windshield sprayers are gay, and since I have replaced everything there is to replace regarding getting an even spray and it doesn't work yet, Fu** it.

So what is the fix going to be, I wonder? after market pump and new lines? well we know that changing the lines won't work bacaues that has been done, i wonder if there is a filter in the tank and that gets cloged.

well guys, for now i'm just gonna leave it. When I get time, I am gonna tear out the tank and check out the filter. I still do not understand that with completely clear new lines, still one side sprays better than the other. WTF??

the fix is a sewing needle into the nozzle. you'll have a huge spray over the car onto the back, but you'll get a spray instead of a dribble.

I would start looking for pinched lines. A line in my Silverado collapsed and I was getting pissed trying to use the wipers. I'd be sitting at a light in the winter, roll down my window and shake my bottle of water over the top of the windshield to clean it, damn piece of trash!

I don't think there is a filter 2VNA
