Default Rear window spray nossal leaks

Since I bought my 06, under hard acceleration, my rear windown spray nossal cleaner leaks out onto the back window. Just a nice little stream for a fraction of a section when I accel. hard. Anyone else's do this? The dealership is going to replace the "check valve" next week. Appropriate fix you guys think?

it will still leak after it gets replaced. Welcome to the club. You can just unplug the line from the pump and then remove your rear wiper. Fixes the problem and looks much better. JMO

Yup, it happens on every model year. I never use the rear spray so eventually the tube dries up and none drips out anymore.

Ahh, crappy, lol. I haven't used the rear sprayer in a long time, and it still hasn't dried up. If I disconnect the rear line, do I need to plug it? If so, with what?

you can get a line plug from autozone to push in there and it will work.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed when it was happening (and sorry, for some reason using IE i can't search this forum), and the service department never heard about it. Gonna plug it tomorrow.

Do I plug the line under the hood by the resevoir, or in the rear by the nossal?

there are two different things you can do.

#1 Un Plug the line in the rear and throw a plug in it.

#2 disconnect it prior to the pump so if you accidently hit the wash button no fluid is pumped.
