Rear Washer does not spray
Hello all, new forum member and new Mitsubishi owner here.
Just got my 07 Outlander about 5 days ago. I love it beyond reason No issues so far.
One thing I noticed is that the rear windshield washer does not spray like the front ones.
It's more like an open hose instead of a spray nozzle. I was just wondering if this is normal or do I have a busted nozzle.

Likes: Definitely that it comes with everything I wanted (heated exterior mirrors would have been nice), I got the XLS base with no options. Love the 18" wheels, split hatch, gray exterior, very sporty interior, 6-speed manumatic that's good and usable, Audi-like dash, velvety soft conformable seats, great handling, mileage seems to be rather good, seems to be well engineered and assembled. Wasn't looking for third row seats, but it's a nice bonus
Dislikes: Lots of plastic (but tastefully designed to look sporty), black interior is difficult to keep clean, not a lot of accessories seem to be available yet. Hmm...that's it for dislikes.
First thing I did was to debadge the rear. Removed dealer stickers, the MITSUBISHI and OUTLANDER stickers, and the AWD sticker. I was tempted to paint the Mitsubishi logo, but the silver goes perfect with the exterior. Looks much better now.

As far as your actual question is concerned, mine does exactly the same thing. The front is a true spray, and the rear simply "spits" down on the window. It's kind of annoying, but I enjoy timing the wiper so that I hit the fluid as the rear wiper is on the upswing.

Same with my Outlander. But it does the job fine, since the rear wipers clears most dirt in 2 wipes. And it does take a little more time before the water comes out of the nozzle as compared to the front spray nozzle.
