Hello Everyone!!

Has anyone ever wondered where the windshield wiper fluid dispensers are placed and also where the fluid is stored? There is no place in the frunk to pour the fluid and also no dispensers on the hood. :surprised::fingerscrossed::confused::facepalm:

Not really, but someone else did and I found the question amusing. So I remembered to asked a Rivian rep while attending the Normal event last October. He said and pointed to a compartment within the frunk on the driver side that there is a removable panel where you get access to fill the windshield wiper fluid.

also no dispensers on the hood.
With many vehicles these days, the sprayers are on the wipers themselves.

My Volvo doesn't even use a sprayer per se, it just squirts the fluid right out of the wiper blades.

We're probably talking about the same or similar design.

Yes, although there are a couple of varieties these days. Some vehicles have nozzles on the wiper arm that spray fluid across a wider area. The latest designs just stream fluid right out of the blade itself directly in front of the blade without any overspray.
