I could swear I saw this mentioned a while ago, but I found nothing with the search...

Is it normal for the rear window sprayer to just let the fluid run out in a stream? I was hoping it would spray the cleaner, not pee all over my window.

That is normal. On other threads it was theorized that a spray would never make it onto the window at highway speeds (might blow away from the window), hence the stream.

However, IMO the problem isn't with the stream, it's with the speed of the wiper arm. It goes so fast that it just slaps most of the water away from the van. I feel if it went slower it would "smear" the water and therefore wash it better.

I agree with SDP. Unfortunately all odysseys seem to do the same thing.

Yes, the Ody rear window washer lets out a stream rather than a spray. But on another forum (www.hondasuv.com) someone had converted the rear stream on a CRV with a front nozzle from the CRV. I've thought about trying it but was hoping one of the more adventerous would guinea pig it on their Ody first.

Here's the info:

Under "fixes and Upgrades" is the rear nozzle upgrade.

I recently made that modification to my Odyssey. I bought one of the front spray nozzles and then installed inside the rear spoiler. It took som fanagling, but, it fit ok and works well.

I've done the mode on the wife's CRV, works great. I was hoping someone would post something about which sprayer and how to replace it?

I just ordered a sprayer for the front of odyssey. I color matched it although that is not necessary since it is hidden inside the spoiler. I had to do some grinding away of the spayer to make it fit where the other one went. In the end, it worked out real nice. Now when you peer into the hole that the water comes out, there is a gold colored thing in there with a little spray nipple in it.
