Looking for 2 wiper nozzles for my 1990. I can’t find them anywhere online. The part appears to be discontinued and I don’t see anything aftermarket that looks like it will fit. Of course there are a million search results but none of them seem correct.
Anyone have any ideas besides a salvage yard? I’m willing to get a little creative but would rather not do anything that changes the appearance of the wiper cowl.
@lawsoncl you have responded to so many of my posts I must publicly thank you for being such a help; I hope that I can be as helpful to others as you have been to me! I did message the seller and he says that he gets them from salvage yards and probably won't be doing much picking until winter is over. What pisses me off is that the dealer painted the vehicle and clearly neglected to put the nozzles back. They didn't just disappear on their own. I'm wondering if I can make the hose opening smaller in the meantime so that it sprays out a bit more.
Unrelated question: am I nuts or is rock auto 500x cheaper than everywhere else?
RockAuto are cheaper than a lot of places. They buy bulk stock of warehouse clearances, closed down businesses and keep their own costs low. I'm in the UK and can get some parts cheaper posted with import tax cheaper than buying over here.

I wouldn’t mind if they paid someone to redesign their website but whatcha gonna do
For me, RockAuto is about 50/50 between Amazon for cheapest cost after shipping. One nice feature on the RockAuto site is the search feature. Search on 1989 Jeep Cherokee alternator for example, and it'll drill down into the menu for you, and the items will show the various years/models they fit.
@lawsoncl I did compare to Amazon. In this particular instance, I was looking for new wiper blades. The Trico 13-180 Ultra were about $4 cheaper even with the $9.99 shipping on rock auto. But if I added a separate item, it added a completely new shipping charge. I guess not all items come from the same facility.
Rock Auto sells them for about $10. The big chain auto parts stores sell them for $20-$30 each.
Yeah, they do have some good clearance prices and I have order a fair amount of wipers from them. Stocked up on oil filters one time when they were $1.50 each.
