Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / March 2005Santa Fe rear washer spray
The rear window washer fluid runs down the window is a stream on my '05 Santa FE. Is it supposed to spray onto the window or is this how its designed? TIA, Jon It is intended to come down in a stream like you describe. Yep. My 01 Works that way too! > It is intended to come down in a stream like you describe. "K.

Probably because most of the fluid would get blown away [at higher speeds] if it was a spray pattern. Never been a problem with previous cars that sprayed. They were usually good below 75 mph or so. Besides, a lot of what just runs down the back window is missed by the wiper on the Santa Fe and is wasted. Not a great design. Thanks to all that replied.

Yeah, I have noticed that the wiper doesn't move over fast enough to catch the water. Oh well... > Never been a problem with previous cars that sprayed. They were usually good > below 75 mph or so.

I've overcome this "problem" by turning the washer spray on and off 2-3 times. That way, the wiper will get enough washer fluid to do the whole window. Good luck! > I've overcome this "problem" by turning the washer spray on and off 2-3 > times.
