JP GROUP 1198700900 Washer Nozzle – Left Right Front OE

There’s a specific kind of frustration that comes from hitting the washer stalk on the highway and watching fluid go everywhere except the windshield. This listing is for the JP GROUP windshield washer nozzle (manufacturer part 1198700900), left front, right front fitting, built to original-equipment spec rather than a generic universal fit.

Why This Nozzle Fixes the Problem

Installing the correct OE-spec part for the left front, right front position matters more than it looks like it should, because a washer nozzle is a precision-molded spray jet, not a generic hose fitting. This one:

• Matches the original fluid channel diameter, so pump pressure and spray volume stay within factory spec
• Holds up to UV exposure and temperature swings without the nozzle body going brittle and cracking
• Keeps the wiper blades running on clean glass, which slows the rate at which the blade edges pick up grit and wear unevenly
• Closes the gap between a working washer pump and a windshield that actually gets cleaned
• Avoids the drip-and-dribble spray pattern that a partially clogged or cracked nozzle produces
• Gives the fluid line a clean, leak-free connection at the nozzle body, so pressure isn’t lost before the spray leaves the jet

Who This Part Is For

• Anyone doing a full wiper-and-washer service alongside new blades and fresh washer fluid.

Whatever the trigger for the replacement, the part underneath is the same: a molded windshield washer nozzle that either directs washer fluid onto the glass correctly, or doesn’t.

Quality & Sourcing

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this come with a warranty?

Yes. Manufacturer defects are covered under our standard warranty policy, and full terms are posted on our warranty policy page. Keep your order confirmation as proof of purchase.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within one to two business days and arrive within the delivery window shown at checkout. Full details are on our shipping policy page, including delivery estimates by region.

What’s your return policy if the part doesn’t fit?

Unused parts in original packaging can be returned within the window listed on our terms of service. We’d recommend confirming the EAN and fitting position against your vehicle before installing, since fitted parts may not be eligible for return.

Can a cracked or misaligned nozzle cause a safety issue?

Indirectly, yes. Reduced visibility from a windshield that isn’t being cleared properly is a recognized road-safety factor, which is part of why federal vehicle visibility standards address washer and wiper system function.

Will this nozzle work with any washer fluid, including winter formulas?

Yes. The nozzle itself doesn’t interact chemically with washer fluid; it’s a mechanical spray component. Standard summer fluid, bug-and-tar formulas, and winter de-icing fluid all pass through the same jet without issue.

Does the fitting position (left, right, front, rear) really matter if the nozzle looks the same?

It can. Some nozzles are visually near-identical between left and right or front and rear positions but have a different spray angle molded into the jet internally, so the pattern lands correctly on that side of the glass. Installing the wrong side can leave a streak the wiper can’t clear.

What does ‘both sides’ listed under fitting position mean?

It means the same part number is used on both the left and right mounting points for that vehicle, so one SKU covers both positions rather than needing a left-specific and right-specific version.

Is this an OEM part or an aftermarket part?

This is manufactured to OE specification by an aftermarket supplier, matching the fit, material, and performance of the original equipment part without carrying the vehicle manufacturer’s brand name or price premium.

What makes this washer nozzle different from a universal-fit replacement?

It’s manufactured to the original part number’s exact specification, meaning bore diameter, thread pitch, and mounting geometry match what the vehicle left the factory with. A universal nozzle can physically fit into the hole and still spray at the wrong angle or pressure because the internal channel geometry is different.

How do I confirm this is the right nozzle for my vehicle?

Match the EAN or manufacturer part number listed against your old nozzle, or check it against your vehicle’s parts catalog by VIN. Fitting position (front, rear, left, right, or both sides) also has to match, since washer systems on many vehicles use different nozzles for each location.
