Rear window washer spray.

Question, is the rear washer spray nozzle supposed to rotate with the wiper, or is it supposed to be static?

On my avant the rear washer rotates.

They are *supposed* to be fixed, however, it *is* possible to insert a new replacement one and still manage to break it in a manner that allows it to move with the wiper arm. (Don't ask me *how* I know this. )

Actually I think it should have been designed to move with the arm since coverage is much better when it does move. However, that would require at least an O-ring for the motor end of the nozzle and that might have pushed the price point over the line, back in the day.

Not that I've noticed.

It may be that is not supposed to rotate with the wiper arm, but it works much better when it does rotate with the wiper. No abnormal noise from mine.
