Question P5 Rear window washer

How many of you P5 owners have the washer fluid come out on quick take offs on the rear window?? It is starting to **** me off!!
I am quick of the line and always the fluid is dripping down the window even when I don't use it for a couple days

My car did that when I first got it. It was sooo annoying. After a short time, it stopped and hasn't done it since. I don't use the wiper fluid though in the back. Only in the front.

Mine does it all the time...actually there is hardly a point in time when I dont have two river lines going down my rear window
I took it to Mazda and the Tech told me that it is normal and there is not way to fix it ...I personally think that he is full of **** and can lick my nuts if he thinks Im gonna buy that story

Im not gonna stop zooming around just so I can have a perfectly clean rear window...so, I just live with it...

If anyone else has this problem besides us and gets it fixed...I would like to know the solution.

I dont notice this on my car, how often do you clean your back window with the washer? If you do it often, some fluid may be left in the line, which in turn may come out? Would aggravate the hell out of me also, hope you can get it fixed.

I used my rear washer a whopping total of 1 time when I bought the car back in August....I keep hoping the rivers will dry up...but they haven't.

I use the rear wiper with fluid occasionally, and I do also have the little streams running down my rear window from time to time, but it's not as severe as other people seem to have it...

I use my rear window washer quite often, (over 30K on the car by now) and I never had any problems with it leaking when I don't want it to. If it leaked on me I would go and bitch to the jerks in service who will surely give you a song and dance that this is normal. I hate the SOBs in service, everything that is not normal to a normal person who know what he's talking about is normal to the jerks in service.
