    The black looks great, much better than the "off yellow/white" that I have ha!

    The PO of my car said he got wax stuck in the nozzles on the hood and that's why it wasn't working. Maybe the same happened to yours? I haven't had the time to mess with mine yet but maybe the pump is shooting it out of there since there's nowhere else for it to go?

      what that valve is is it keep pressure in the line so when you hit the sprayers it sparys with no delay. You can source a new one pretty cheap. If you bypass it with a t thing it will work again but you will have to hold the spray button longer.

        You are also missing a strut tower stud/bolt?

              probably for expansion pressures in the winter if it all freezes up. Like a pressure release valve. Regardless, you need either a new one or you need to bypass it.

                Bingo, it's a pressure release. If the valve is leaking all the time, it's time for a new valve.

                    I wonder if one could source a woman to squirt all over the windshield?
