Rivian Windshield Washer Fluid

[Pixelshot]

Thanks. Dumb question 2: Is there a way to see what the fluid level is, or do you just wait for an alert?

Honestly, I haven’t even checked to see if it has a dipstick or not. There an icon on the driver screen and the notification bell image above. Nothing showing a fluid level digitally.

Speaking of wiper fluid, mine sprays on the lower part of the windshield only vs. a more broad spray that I’m used to in other vehicles. Just me or is this how everyone’s is?

Mine is like that too, but if you do it while moving at freeway speeds it spreads itself almost to the top before the wipers remove it.

I asked about this at the service center and they couldn’t remember the brand but thought it came in 55 gallon drums…which makes me think it might be the one referenced above:

I’d grab the gallon size and test it out, but not with $20 shipping.

I ordered some (even ate the $20 shipping) and will report back.

Can't guarantee it, but another Rivian forum shows this:

Streak-Free Car Window & Automobile Glass Cleaner (generalchem.com)
Cheaper and free shipping edit: says shipping free and then changes it to $25.63at final checkout.

Mine was delivered with like 4 ounces of wiper fluid in the tank

Mine was delivered empty. I didn't think too much of it since windshield wiper fluid costs a couple of bucks to buy. Did I miss out on something?

It appears the factory winds washer fluid is more of a must have than the wood on the back of the front seats.

I think they aim the nozzles low on windshield, so max smell is picked up by HVAC intake. Haha!

Any updates? I'm scared to use my windshield washers because I don't want to run out and lose the smell

Yes! Gote both 5620 and sonar over the weekend. It's NOT 5620. Period. Think someone else confirmed that. A double dose of Sonax and isopropyl alcohol is pretty darn close. But it lacks the sweetness (I know it's weird to say). I'm almost 100% positive that Sonax + hand Santizer grade ethanol is gonna be it. Ethanol ordered yesterday.

If you crack it, Rivian won't have to worry about splitting it out from Membership!

/Was it Beta Fluid?
//seriously, thanks for the trial and error for those looking to replicate!

It really shouldn't be this hard. We shouldn't need a chemistry degree to make washer fluid.

I am happy to report though that even after filling with Rain-X twice (the green bug fluid), I still have the smell of the original fluid.
