Camera WASHERS!

[Beetlebug62]

Going on a 5wk+ trip on Super Bowl Sunday, so, I got both washer kits. Decided to install side ones; the rear, I'll do when I get back.

It was fairly easy, fairly quick and works great so far. You have to remove the trunk bin, with 6 bolts. You can see the washer pump, and just add two tees, to feed the two side washers, off the fascia cam washer line.

There's an adjustment valve and a filter that you can put inline, but I didn't. Maybe when I add the rear washer, I'll add those in.

So, relatively inexpensive, for the utility, you have to wonder why they didn't do this from the start. I mean, if you use FSD, it's absolutely necessary. I wish I had the time to do the rear washer before I go. I drill thru the metal titanal on skis to mount bindings, so I'm not that concerned about drilling the rear tailgate. I'm thinking I'll have to add the adjustment valve to balance the rear washer.

Nice work!

Agreed. This should have been OEM from the start. Especially with FSD

Has anyone tried the washer install with DIY parts from Amazon?
I have a hard time spending $209 for some tubing, nozzles and T's availble on Amazon for $20.64 plus a titanium drill bit & a few wire ties.. This is mostly a labor job, the parts are very inexpensive, you can watch the videos on YouTube for how to install it.

(2) nozzles, $4.27

8M of tubing with T's, $11.38

For anyone that has done the side & rear washer mod, do you know what sized washer tubing they are using? I am thinking of just buying the fender washer kit from ClearVuCam for $90, and just getting the tubing and the washer nozzle I have above for the rear, that rear kit is $120 more, and it looks like they are using a nozzle I can't locate on Amazon for the 2 fender cameras. I'd like to get the correct tubing size, so I only have to take everything apart just once thanks for any guidance on washer tubing size. Here is what I found on Amazon, 7/64's

Im going to start with the side camera system they offer. You only need to drill through the cladding on each side of the camera—shorter routing for the hose.

Were you able to get this done?

Not yet, one more week on the road, and I should get to it.
