The 1962-1972 windshield washer jar is a component of the windshield washer system found in various vehicles produced during this period, particularly in Chevrolet models and other vehicles with similar setups. Here's some information about it:
Function: The windshield washer jar, also known as the windshield washer reservoir or windshield washer fluid tank, is a container that holds the windshield washer fluid. The fluid is used to spray onto the windshield through washer nozzles, helping to clean dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the windshield for improved visibility while driving.
Compatibility: The 1962-1972 windshield washer jar is designed to fit specific vehicle models manufactured during this timeframe. While Chevrolet vehicles are commonly associated with this part, other manufacturers may have used similar windshield washer jar designs as well.
Construction: Windshield washer jars are typically made of durable plastic or sometimes glass. They are designed to withstand exposure to washer fluid and the elements without leaking or deteriorating over time. The jars may feature a translucent or transparent design, allowing the vehicle owner to monitor the fluid level easily.
Mounting: The windshield washer jar is typically mounted in the engine bay of the vehicle, often near the firewall or fender. It may be secured in place using mounting brackets, screws, or other fasteners. The jar is connected to the windshield washer pump via hoses, allowing the pump to draw fluid from the jar and distribute it to the washer nozzles.
Maintenance: Proper maintenance of the windshield washer jar involves regularly checking the fluid level and replenishing it as needed with windshield washer fluid. Additionally, the jar and associated hoses should be inspected periodically for signs of damage, leaks, or deterioration. Any issues should be addressed promptly to ensure the continued functionality of the windshield washer system.
Replacement: If the windshield washer jar becomes damaged, cracked, or otherwise compromised, it may need to be replaced to maintain the integrity of the windshield washer system. Replacement windshield washer jars are available from us
