first check for fluid in the trunk. then check for a sound when you activate the squirter, and then I would have to guess check for power to the pump, and it could also be clogged...
anyway...

i had the same problem. I went to a junkyard and got a rear bottle and replaced both the bottle and motor and it now works great.

how does it supposed to squirt out on our cars? When I activate my rear washer nozzle it just sprays a straight stream down the middle of the glass. I was looking at hte nozzle and it doesn't appear to be adjustable. I'm guessing this is normal?

only the direction is adjustable.
use a pin to move it around.

Does anybody know who you can get one of these off? I tried, it rotates but doesn't come out...

It does come out, but to do it without breaking it, you'll need to pinch it from the inside. Its the same design as the front ones.

this is no help to anyone, just kind of a useless rant, but my ruddy rear windshield wiper fluid dribbles out like it's scared to get wiped!

yours is clogged for sure then... clean the nossle then shoot some compresed air threw the hose.

Better use for the rear washer nozzle:
1. Install stronger pump after cleaning
2. Rotate nossle assembly 90 degrees counterclockwise
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!!

Also, up near where the line goes into the hatch, there is a innocent looking white connector, and within that, is a one way check valve. Betcha that could get clogged pretty good

Its also a good idea to remove the rear washer fluid tank once in awhile to see how rusty its getting beneath it.
