JP GROUP 1198700800 Windshield Washer Nozzle – Rear – OE

A cracked or misaligned washer jet is one of those small failures that quietly turns into a bigger problem. Road film builds on the glass, the wipers start smearing instead of clearing, and visibility drops right when you need it most. This listing is for the JP GROUP windshield washer nozzle (manufacturer part 1198700800), rear 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 rear 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:

• Restores the factory spray pattern, so fluid lands on the glass instead of the hood or the A-pillar
• Clears road film, bug strikes, and winter road salt in the first pass instead of smearing it across the glass
• Seats into the factory mounting point without trimming, filing, or improvising a bracket
• 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

Who This Part Is For

• Owners dealing with a nozzle that sprays off-target after a body shop repair or hood replacement.
• DIY mechanics working from a used-car pre-purchase inspection checklist that flagged a dead jet.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Is installation something I can do myself?

Yes, on most vehicles. It’s typically a clip-in or push-fit connection to the washer fluid line, secured with a small mounting tab. No special tools are required for the majority of applications, though some hood-mounted nozzles need the hood liner partially pulled back for access.
