Default Windshield Washer RSX Nozzle Upgrade

You all know how crappy our Civic windshield washer nozzles are. You get 2 streaks of water on each side to clean your windshield. Have you ever seen a car that their windshield nozzle sprays the water on the whole windshield and think to yourself, man i wish my civic has them. Well, thanks to Trustdestruction for this wonderful idea, we now can have them on our Civic. This was done on a 99 civic. should work for all civic including del sol since the nozzles are the same, i think, can someone correct me on this.

Parts Needed
- 04-06 Acura RSX Washer Nozzle Assembly Part #11 in the diagram
Part #: 76810-S6M-A02 You Will Need 2

- For EG's (92-95) and Del Sol, extra 1/4" vinyl tubing may be needed, They can be found at your local home depot or lowes in the plumbings area for a couple dollars


Pop up your hood and unplug the hoses from the nozzles. You may need to pull on them harder to get them off.

Remove the nozzles. They are held on like clips. Pinch them together and pull them out.

Pop the RSX nozzle in until you hear the clips click.

You may need to pull on the hoses to get a little more length to reach to the nozzles.
For EG's (92-95) or Del Sol extra 1/4" vinyl tubing may be needed

Lastly, Push the hoses up onto the bottom of the nozzle.

WARNING: The spray from the nozzle may be off. Attempting to adjust them may result in damage nozzles. Use the proper size (-) screwdriver and adjust them slowly and carefully.

And now you have yourself a windshield washer nozzle that sprays the water on the whole front windshield instead of a nozzle that just sprays 2 streams of water onto the windshield. Enjoy your upgraded nozzles.

Should work on any Civic for sure. I'm 99% positive.

On my del Sol I had to cut new hoses using 1/4" vinyl tubing. You should add to the DIY that it may be necessary on EG Civics and del Sols.
