Do any of your replaced washer nozzles leak still? Mine still does for roughly 3 days after use, it has started to stain my back window.

I had mine replaced a week after I bought my car in October 2014,but the new nozzle didn't work. I just stop using mine so it doesn't leak.

my new nozzle worked just as bad as the original, only difference is the spray is more of a fan than a dribble. I dont know if the tech didnt install it properly or it wasnt a proper fix. Im just trying to get a consensus on here.

I had mine looked at very early on. Maybe August or September of last year. The dealer didn't just install a new nozzle, but installed a check valve back near the nozzle.

It basically just limits the amount of fluid that can possibly flow without added pressure, thus limiting the amount of drippage that's possible. I still get a few drops after using the washer.

It seemed like my dealer had experience using this fix for older cars with downward facing sprayers.

I see, my dealer doesnt seem very eager to correct the drip, they simply just say that they performed the tech tip and that there is nothing more that they can do. I think I will try another dealership, I just hate waiting around. I will recommend a check valve though.

I had mine replaced today, I now have the added feature of fluid both on the rear window and inside the hatch.

I had mine done it drips less but I also have the stain on my window from it. And I only use water in my washer fluid, so the stain is from their first fill that I finished within a week.
