I guess whoever had the car before me rarely used the rear wash, so the fluid in it dried up and the line became clogged. I don't know if the system was similar in the older 90s0 (though I know in the late 900s it was). If you can find the line, try blowing it out first otherwise, it could be a real nuissance job to get done. Michael H
