WOW.... had a good laugh today.

Just joined the Acura family with my 04 TL and loving it!

One feature the salesman never mentioned to me was the 'Facewash' feature.

Was just sitting at a red light on a calm morning with the sunroof open, engaged the windshield washer and BAM!!! Right in the kisser.....lol

Great gimmick for getting your bud in the passenger seat!!!!

I wouldn't advise it with a date next to you however.

Thought I would share my funny experience, and can't wait to get the wife!!!!! hehe

My 1999 Toyota Solara and now departed 1993 Toyota Camry had this "feature" too!

It only took one or two spritzes to remind me to either wash the windshield with the moonroof closed or to do so at speed.

Enjoy your new TL! I'm looking forward to getting mine next week!!

Congratulations. Welcome to the forum.


Most of 04TLs' windshield fluid nozzle aims high... could be the reason, especially while your car is still.

this is not a nice feature for an anal person like i am. that thing sprays all over the roof and some on the trunk. leaves water spots everywhere.

Fix it, stick a straight pin or a paper clip in the nozzle and point it lower.

It's a tough call. Leave it as is, and you'll get sprayed at a stop, but the spray will be fine at speed. Fix it, and the spray will be fine at a stop and too LOW at speed.

This is a problem inherent to washer jets that are affixed to the car body. Cars with the jets in the wiper arms don't suffer from this problem.

I've gotten used to just using my wipers at speed. It's certainly not a big problem.

That was one of the things I liked about the G35 when I test drove it....it has the wiper fluid through the wiper arms.

yeah its fine when the car is moving but when used at a stop is a joke. thing is like a rainbow of water spraying overhead.

hey - on a hot day, this may be a nice way to cool down...

uhhhhh...no.

You know what I found out yesterday which was pretty interesting? That the intermittent settings on the wipers are variable. What I mean is, depending on the speed you're driving at, they change - the "quickest" setting I thought was pretty slow sitting at a light, but then I started driving and the pace of the wipe increased a lot. Pretty neat little feature in my opinion.

Bingo...
