The rear defroster (demister) on a Subaru Legacy is built into the window. The lines going across the back window are actually the defrosters. If the vehicle is equipped with a rear wiper, the switch for this should be located below the radio and heater controls.
How do I replace the rear wiper motor or just remove the rear panel on the back window to see if my rear wiper motor is unplugged on my 2007 Subaru Outback? Thanks!
If it's the back window washer that's not working, I had the same problem. Seemly the tube that carries the water to the rear window has become detached. How i realised this was that I had refilled the water container and still couldn't understand why the window washer arm was working but no water coming out onto the window. Then my back seat was wet. It was because the water was being pumped when I pressed the back window washer switch. Something made me turn around and you wouldn't believe it. The actual water was coming out of the top of the left back passenger seat belt near the top of the window. I still have to get this fixed. But it might be the answer you are looking for. My back seat has remained dry since realisation of this has prevented me from switching on the rear window washer.
A window air conditioner must be fitted in the window. The back end generates hot air and some drip water. Some can fit in a wall but still the back half is outside.
Check out the related link for instructions on how to remove the back seat from a Subaru Impreza.
If it's the same as other Foresters there is only one tank under the hood which feeds both front and back washers.
sometimes window liners tend to leak.
When you breathe on a window, the warm air from your breath contains moisture. When this warm, moist air comes in contact with the cooler surface of the window, it rapidly cools down. As a result, the moisture condenses into tiny water droplets that appear on the glass.
The steam from a kettle will hit the cold window surface and lose heat rapidly, causing it to condense back into water droplets. This is because the cold window cools down the steam quickly, which is why you can see the steam forming water droplets on the window.
If the window lock button is on (found on the drivers door) it will cause this to happen. Supposed to be a feature. it was not the lock botton.It was a bad ground on the relay ,power was getting to the relay ,but would not travel to back windows.Thanks For your input
Because there's a leak somewhere. Window and door seals are a likely culprit.
which window ? door or windshield or back window ?
