Washer nozzle info, Save Money

[Bobby Chapman]

After 3 years , nozzle on passenger side was clogging up, replaced it with NZ6Z-17603-B, from dealer. Showed about $22.50 on line and $8.00 shipping from Lakeland Ford. Thought I'd go to my dealer( mullinex in Apopka ) and buy.
Got the part out and said $47.00, I asked if they matched internet price, he said NO.

The one I got was actually packaged from Lakeland Ford , go figure.

I bought it for I needed it. Got home ,replaced it , and drivers side was same way. Ordered 2 different kinds on Amazon ,here is the best one

That's pretty rich ... you should've walked. Lots of dealers are doing this now, charging double the LIST price of any part under $25 or $30 and adding 30-50% to all other parts prices. I guess their owners aren't getting rich enough from the regular mark-up, they want to make 200% profit on parts now.

I know a few dealership owners and they all have multiple houses, vacation houses, planes, boats, helicopters, exotic cars ... I guess it's never enough

PS: the Amazon one seems pretty bad, the spray is all concentrated in one spot at the base of the windshield. At speed, there's probably very little washer fluid getting to the upper part of the glass

But the Amazon one gives a good spray on top of windsheild

Do they allow rotating those in the housing?

I guess the Amazon one is just hitting high and low.
I guess as speed goes up that allows the low to be good, and the high to allow the person behind you to clean their's too.
Or be annoyed they just washed their vehicle.

The new one does have adjustability, I have not turn the pass.side one ,with precision screwdriver (amazon one ) yet

The amazon one rates a "not acceptable" from me.

Did you try to unclog the factory one?

What clogged your washer nozzles? I'm trying to think back to the last time I had to replace washer nozzles, but I'm not coming up with anything.

I'm also curious what happened with your nozzle. 40+ years of driving almost every manufacture of vehicles and never had a nozzle clogged.
