    The rear window washer fluid runs down the window is a stream on my '05
    Santa FE. Is it supposed to spray onto the window or is this how its
    designed?

    TIA,
    Jon

    It is intended to come down in a stream like you describe.

    Probably because most of the fluid would get blown away [at higher speeds]
    if it was a spray pattern.

    Never been a problem with previous cars that sprayed. They were usually good
    below 75 mph or so.

    Besides, a lot of what just runs down the back window is missed by the wiper
    on the Santa Fe and is wasted. Not a great design.

    Thanks to all that replied.

    Yeah, I have noticed that the wiper doesn't move over fast enough to catch
    the water.
    Oh well...

    I've overcome this "problem" by turning the washer spray on and off 2-3
    times. That way, the wiper will get enough washer fluid to do the whole
    window.
    Good luck!

    but the point is- we shouldn't HAVE TO do that...
