Yep, went straight in and worked a treat

Thank you so much! I'll go to the junkyard to pull a few. I might convert my other cars to that design if I like it. I know the Gen5 doesn't have any height adjustment for the nozzle, right?

There's alike a LOT of Gen5 in my junkyard now and Gen4 are a bit rare.

Surprised no one else had done it. I'll do a DIY on it.

 

The ones I used were from an ACV36 Camry, I understand that the US models are slightly different but I can't see it being that much of a change. They're a single-fan, no height adjustment but the aim was perfect. I put them on my AE102 as well

Yup! Can confirm the Gen 5 nozzles work. I got mine off ebay for a 02-05 Camry Part Number 85381AA042.
As the previous poster said, aim was perfect.

 

Just something I've been wondering, how do the gen5 fan-spray nozzles compare to the "Predator" tri-stream nozzles from other Toyotas?

 

What other model does that have? the tri stream one? I know The Gen4 has bi stream ones.

With that said I wonder what else these will work in.

omg i'mma going to be buying more parts taht I don't really need.

 

You guys making me all excited to do this mod.

I guess I'll be going to the junkyard this week to rip out all the windshield nozzle from the 2002-2006 Camry.

Any Ideal how to remove the hood insulator without destorying the clip or the insulator itself?

 

I have the GEN 5 nozzles too and they work great on my 2000 camry.

 

Lol wut, you did the upgrade too??

Man, y’all left me in the dark. Everyone did this upgrade and here I didn’t even know about this!! Haha!!

 

Eh, better late then never.

 

I did it today.

Err... I still need to fix my dads one. I got this from a Lexus LS430 (or all lexus models in this period probably the same). Everything went great except I broke all the hood clips underneath (I grabbed the clips from the LS430 which NONE broke off and came off perfect). I snapped my needle in one of the passenger nozzle...ugh

Aimed pretty okay after I adjusted it.

 

The "fan" type do a better cleaning job than even the "3 jet" ones shown in the photo. Actually, what was referred to as "fan" is actually called, "fluidic", as it wiggles the spray back and forth very quickly to distribute the fluid far more effectively than the "jet" type ever could. As far as I know, no one uses the "jet" type any more because of this fact.

The Solara nozzles were "twin fan" which is even superior to the single "fan".

You can tell the difference by looking closely at the business end: "jet" will have two or three points. "fan" (fluidic) will have a small rectangular hole. "Twin fan" (double fluidic) will have two small rectangular holes.

 

The triple one is adjustable... just don’t get the needle snap off in it (like me) LOL.

I might try find a ES3x0 from 2002 that has the spray . at least I think they do

 

Cannot post a photo. Because of this thread, I bought two new nozzles claimed to be for the Gen 5 to replace the clogged ones on my 1998 Camry. Not yet installed not tested. Bought cheap ones, IsumoGEGT7610-787, OEM No. 85381-AA042. These have one rectangular hole in each nozzle, nothing like the photos posted by others in earlier posts here.
Will install these when opportunity presents itself in a week or so.

 

Lol wut, you did the upgrade too??

Man, y’all left me in the dark. Everyone did this upgrade and here I didn’t even know about this!! Haha!!

Haha. Yep, like two years ago too. <img src="http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smilie" class="inlineimg" /> The FAN style is much better than those you just got though. I barely use any water and it covers most of the windshield. I just tap it once, squirt, done.

I like the fan better than the tri but I wanted to be painted lol. Maybe the ES 2002+ ones from a pearl white can be found one day....

 

Here is the ones I got. 85381-AA042

Have not yet installed mine. It appears from photos that some come with a "gasket" or pad, presumably to be placed between the nozzle and the paint on the hood. My new ones did not include any pad. Install without pad?




Photo above posted 7-30-2018 by Kingdom 934 shows one style with black pad and another without. The pad shown may be integral to the nozzle.

I did without pad and have no issues. They were nice and snug.

 

without the pad will probably rattle, since they were designed to use it as a spacer

 

or you can paint them yourself / have them painted

 

That rubber pad I believe provides some water resistant from going underneath there and probbaly prevents them from rattling .. although thy are pretty snug.

Maybe reuse from previous nozzles?

 

I reused mine. Even though they were pretty old, they still worked.

 

yes, you can reuse the pad from the previous nozzles

Toyota makes the mounting standard across all lines: on top of the hood (for many, many years, 2 or 3 jet) and then the newer vehicles moved to under the hood, along the rear edge (all of those are fan/fluidic). In either of those two locations, the nozzle mounting shapes are interchangeable across lines/years.

So, the rubber gasket can be swapped to the new nozzle, no problem.

Note, though, that the fan/fluidic types are aimed by design (not adjustable), so the windshield angle of the donor vehicle should match as closely as possible to your vehicle. The older, jet type are adjustable with a small pin but they don't clean as well as the fan/fluidic type.

One nice thing is that since the fan/fluidic type cleans so well, the aim can be off by kind of a lot and the cleaning will still be pretty good.


Personal story:
my '93 came with 2-jet nozzles, and the washing performance was poor. I replaced them with 3-jet as soon as those came out, which slightly improved the cleaning. Then, when fluidic came along, I switched to them (even though my windshield angle was very steep compared with the later model "swept back" windshields so the fan spray is pretty low on my car), and the cleaning was the best. I've driven it like this ever since.

Put a set on my 1990 wagon they work awesome.

 

Some observations and suggestions that may be helpful. Might want to read my earlier post in this thread.

Today I installed the new nozzles. They work great-- even the el-cheapos I bought on eBay. The new ones have a larger base than do the old ones and thus the little pad does not come out to the edges-- but I used them anyway. The old ones have two spray holes each and I never tried to unclog them-- probably should have done so. One of the new ones clogged immediately.

So my suggestion is when installing new nozzles is to remove the hose from one of the existing ones, operate the washer function with that open hose to flush out any crud, put the hose back on the old one, remove the hose from the other old one and again flush the hose. Then install the new nozzles.
My clogged new nozzle would not not clear with lung pressure so I used the air compressor and blow gun, blowing into the outlet of the spray nozzle. Not sure what came out but it cleared.

 

Update:

My magic recipe for winter windshield cleanliness (GEN3 Camry):

replace the wiper blades with modern Toyota Uni-Blades (with the latest in rubber tech, and they have a built in airfoil shape for high speed wiping performance, which the Gen 3 sorely lacked from the factory)

The original blades, when new, could barely clear the glass over 60mph. These new blades are good over 80mph.
Dr side: 85212-06130 (it was last generation Camry Pa side)
Pa side: 85212-47040 (it was last, last generation Prius Pa side)

The original washer nozzles only delivered two tiny amounts of water to a small area in the center of the windshield:
Washer Nozzles: 85381-34030 (fluidic nozzles from FJ Cruiser)
Check Valve: 85375-12520 (also from FJ Cruiser)

These parts fit well, and are aimed/curved/ shaped for good performance on our Gen 3 vehicle, windshield curvature/hood x w/s spray angle.

The purpose of the check valve is to prevent a “dry wipe” (the fluid tends to run back into the jar, leaving an empty hose that needs re-filling the next time you wash, which would reach the glass after the first wipe, without it).

Note the check valve has an “arrow” shape to its body, install it into the hose so that shape points towards the nozzles. Install it into the main hose (cut the hose and insert the valve) just before the 1st nozzle.
