Windshield Spray Nozzels - Hood Cowl Interference?

Nice ... love me some oyster and crawfish poboy.


I'm on another forum non-truck related forum and the moderator has the same nic as you..

 

Yet ANOTHER reason these 3rd gen's are crap. I'm trading mine for a Colorado! Toyota sucks

 

Demand that the dealer gives you a brand new Tacoma! And make them throw in a Platinum 100k warranty! How dare they make the washer squirt things shoot your hood.

Or, have you dealer fix them under warranty and call it a day.

 

Bye bye , Toyota and nobody here will miss you . I assume you've already joined the Chevy fourms and started ragging on your new pos truck. Good luck with the Government motors scrapper. You'll probably only lose about 50 to 75% value in the first year Lol

 

I WAS JOKING.

 

Sub'd to see OP's new truck after the trade in

 

Mine has this problem I posted about it a while back. these are not adjustable (per my dealer) they ordered a 15 degree, but it didn't fix it. my 0 degree came in today. I'm taking my truck to them on Thursday. it was my passenger side nozzle. it would just puddle up on the back lip of the hood. annoying but not a big deal. they are fixing it so I can't ask for anything else

 

One would think this to be a part of the QC check?!?

 

One would. he'll I didn't even notice it for the first few months I had my truck then forgot about it.

 

@Diablo169

So I took her back again. like I said they have 3 different nozzles the one that was on it. they ordered a 15 degree. no go. they ordered a zero degree. still a no go. so I get there at 930 am sit around till 11. they are telling me they think the hood may be warped. they want to keep it and have it looked at. they gave me a new Sr black 4 door 4wd. nice truck. breaks are soft compared to my trd. but I'll take it for now.

Anyway they guy said I may need a new hood. if that's he case I've talked to him about ordering a sport hood so I can have that sexy fake scoop . not sure if there is a price difference but I'd pay it if that's the case.

Anyhow thought I'd keep ya updated

 

Wow, a warped hood. How was that not easily visible? Good luck on the sport hood. There isn't much difference in cost, but if it's under warranty, they may not let you swap. Good luck.

 

Yeah just the back lip. and no it isn't visible. they are assuming at this point. time will tell. I'm not sure if they can or would do the sport hood. but it's worth asking I guess

 

Thanks Vandy, looking at mine i don't see how a new one will fix it, the squrter housing is actually directed at the hood. But we'll see what the dealer says, I'm off for the next week so I'll take it in.

Hopefully I don't leave with a new Tacoma. Santa Cruz Toyota has a base TRD OR Crew Cab with a manual in stock right now.

 

My dad's Saturn aura (don't laugh... nice car for the money and undoubtedly one of the best gm...albeit Holden..products). would do this... we found that the washer fluid hose was actually getting kinked on the engine cover whenever the hood was shut due to a broken plastic tab... so when we opened it to inspect for a kink..we never found it...

 

And now you're waking up at 4am to pee every morning too.

 

My dealer has a 13 boss 302 I keep eyeballing every time I go in there I gotta stay away

 

Gotta put that towel under them though! Makin a damn mess!

 

This...
