I replaced the leaking rear windscreen washerpump in my gq a while ago, and ever since then the water will just syphon out off the rear windscreen if i park on any saort of incline, is there anyway to stop this short of mounting the bottle lower???

There is a one way valve on the drivers side, on the arch of the back door..

check it out.

I went to Bunnings and bought a garden sprinkler system tap and installed it in the pipe after the rear washer pump. You can turn the tap off and the water won't pour out the rear nozzle when you're on a hill. Then you just turn it on when you're back on the black stuff and need to clean the rear window.

Cost about $4 for a pack of five.

I got a one way valve from a auto shop for a couple of dollars that fixed the problem.
