You are a Volvophile for living in AZ and knowing that your car has wipers.

Ha ! Yeah they're more like dust wipers here. When I bought Sveedy the washer pump hadn't worked in years and no one had noticed. I'm sure that 90 percent of the water she has seen has come out of the end of a hose.

Normally I would agree, but in this case they were. Better spray pattern.

Yeah, I think you could get an upgrade for that =P

Neil.
For the record: the 99-00 P80 squirters, and the part number jreed posted, *are* P2 squirters. They are definitely better than the P80 ones.

Mine work more like squirt guns than sprayers. But considering how infrequently they are used I can wait a bit before upgrading them.

A quick update on the durability of the cheap-o squirters... A couple days ago the little plastic insert in the sprayer popped out while spraying.

I caught it and glued it back in place with a small amount of epoxy.
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94
