Can smell the windshield washer fluid in the cab every time I use the wipers.. anyone else?

FWIW both my F150 and Escape bleed washer fluid smell into the cabin - so this not isolated to Rivian.

I have my HVAC set to recirc 90% of the time, so I don’t notice it. I’ve wondered if I got some generic washer fluid and not the “good” stuff.

Love it when I push that lil button and the spice melange fills the cabin.

I wonder the same thing because I can’t smell it. But I have also had my nose busted a couple times so I assumed it was me

That would be deserved, but it was just 12 years of playing Rugby

It’s glorious isn’t it?


I didn’t inhale

I can't smell it, but there are a whole bunch of folks here who have become addicted to that smell and work together on back alley deals for more of it. The DEA has been alerted.

Yes, yes…. guilty as charged…

Yes, in my R1T my Wife says that every time I use it. The truck is awesome - I can live with that!

Anyone else experiencing this?

Same here, but I had the same issue with my ICE truck and my Tesla Model 3 before. I think th smell most likely comes in through the air system. Unless you’re having. Header leak issues (like I did a while back) I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

Yup! Smell it too.

Bottomline, it can happen to any car. Likely in all cars, there is a low pressure area at base of windshield. And this is where most manufacturers place the air inlet for cabin air. So, if you don't have recirculation on, if any droplets of washer fluid gets near that inlet... you will smell it.

Come to daddy when you're ready

You shipping it yet? I'll siphon the swill I have in the reservoir now and put it in my wife's car if I can get some of that good stuff again.

I had to sad react this post. I miss that minty freshness now that I have normal crap in there.
