Thread: How to Replace Defender Windscreen Washer Jet?

Gav

The windscreen jet has a thread on the back so you will not be able to pull it out, you will need to remove some of your dash to enable replacement. Any good parts place will be able to get you a jet.

Any idea how to remove / replace this? And any good leads on where to find the replacement welcomed.

Thanks guys. Gav

Hi, I have replaced a firewall in the recent past and the very first thing installed was the washer and straight across the top of this is the wiper cable, making this very difficult to access without removing heaps of stuff. You will have to remove the long section across the top of the dash as a minimum, just to try and see the back of the washer.

Karcraft at Silverwater (Sydney) sell these for about $10 which is way cheaper than the alternatives

Thanks guys - as I suspected, looks like I'll have to remove the dash. Cheers, Gav

I am sure if you take out the ash tray in the top rail, you can get to it..... just

alternativley, if the boss in the frame is still intact, you can buy a new one, take it apart and superglue the front off the new one onto the old one.

Mine have come apart about 20 times, especially when its cold, and they freeze up. Using the wahers blows them apart
