Mine was mucky to say least - ended up taking 30 mins to clean it. :roll:

Under the roof spoiler - 5 screws to remove, two either end and one dead centre. Remove the grommets to get to the outer ones. Spoiler will lift off to reveal the pipework.

You have to take the spoiler of to disconnect the hose to blow it out?....where are the spoiler screws? Are they under the trim in the boot?

how does item 1 come out of item 2? just unscrew or pull out? cant really be bothered taking the whole spoiler off to blow the muck out, at the same time its really annoying that the spray comes out in a jet and i have to rely on the wiper blade to spread the screen wash
