I have a similar style of washer on my work van. I'm not a fan. I end up using way more fluid

Those have been on the Tesla Model X since 2016. They do not get clogged. But, the blades are more expensive. $40 a blade. Made by Bosch I believe

LOL. High-performance windshield washer system. I think I can do without this no matter how inexpensive (or expensive) it might be. Regular old washer fluid sprayers work just fine for me on my Bronco's TINY windshield.
I never really thought the current setup was inadequate. Replacements sound expensive. Is this really what Jeep is wasting their r&d on?

My 1988 Chevy Beretta had this. It worked fine and gave a similar spray at any speed. It just didn't need special wipers like the jeep, it used standard ones.

I have never even slightly wished my other vehicles had it though. The regular way works good enough for me.

That was popular in the 80's on GM vehicles. Hmmmmm, wonder why it disappeared until 2022?

Y'all know there are high-quality Washer fluids that go to like 50 below. Prestone Cold weather is -27F out of the bottle, and the booster can take it down to -52F. I usually do my oil changes, but if I take it to the dealer, I do fill the washer fluid beforehand. The crap dealers and oil changes places use should be illegal. I work for a utility company, so me and inclement weather are close friends.
Nope I did not.

I was in a Canadian Tire ( like an Advance Auto and walmart combined) in Quebec City, Canada and they had this awesome -57F washer fluid in 3 gallon containers that was streak free and actually melted ice off of the wipers during a snowstorm. A year later, while in Detroit, I decided to cross over the bridge to a Canadian tire in neighboring Windsor ON and grabbed 4 - 4 gal containers and off I went back to Detroit. US Customs grilled me for 20 mins and could simply not believe I went to Canada just for washer fluid. :D

I had a 1973 Ford LTD that had the squirters on the wiper arms. It worked pretty well until it got cold.

My wifes Mercedes has a very similar design. They are called magic vision control. Works really well and has never clogged or stopped working for any reason. Best part, you don't really ever see the washer fluid spraying out.
The key word here is 'Mercedes'. 😉

Our Land Rover Defender has this. Granted, not that many but works well. I do wish more would adopt this technique, it is clearly better. No issues clogging, and doesn't spray all over the windshield and people behind you don't get pissy.
