The windscreen washer jet plays a simple but essential role
in the washer system by directing washer fluid evenly onto the windscreen. This
allows the wiper blades to effectively remove dirt, dust, insects and road
grime, ensuring clear visibility in all driving conditions. The tall chrome
design also contributes to the authentic period appearance of the front bonnet,
making it an important finishing detail during any restoration.
Manufactured to OE Match standards, this replacement washer
jet offers the correct fit, finish and chrome appearance, making it ideal for
concours restorations, routine maintenance or replacing worn original
components.
Why Do Windscreen Washer Jets Fail?
Over many years of use, washer jets are continually exposed
to weather, road dirt, UV light and hard water deposits. These conditions can
cause the small nozzle opening to become blocked, reducing or completely
preventing washer fluid from reaching the windscreen.
The external chrome finish may also become pitted, corroded
or damaged through age and exposure to the elements, detracting from the
appearance of the vehicle. In some cases, accidental damage during polishing or
bonnet work can bend the nozzle, affecting the spray pattern and reducing
cleaning effectiveness.
As the original washer jets on many Porsche 356 models are
now over sixty years old, deterioration is common even on well-maintained
vehicles.
When Should They Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever the washer jet no longer
produces a consistent spray pattern or shows visible signs of deterioration.
Common signs include:
- Weak
or uneven washer spray
- Blocked
or partially blocked nozzle
- Corroded
or pitted chrome finish
- Bent
or damaged nozzle
- Washer
fluid missing the windscreen
- During
concours restorations or bonnet refurbishment
Replacing tired washer jets restores both the functionality
of the washer system and the authentic appearance of the vehicle.
