hey

weird issue - whenever I am on even a slight incline, all the washer bottle water runs out the back window washer nozzle, which is cute if you get stuck on a hill, looks like its pissing itself with fear. is there something I can do to fix this.

Would could purchase a little one way check valve, or even an aquarium air pump valve and fit this inline to your rear washer nozzle. This should stop this issue.

Hope this helps!! :D

Like this, $5 fix!

Even better, proper valve.

I have used both of these in the past and they have worked well. I only used the aquarium valve as no one had a proper valve in stock, and a pet store was close by. In saying that, it worked just as good. I have found that placing the valve close to the nozzle works best, as opposed to near the washer reservoir. So maybe in your tailgate would be a good place.

mine does the same, there's a non-return valve for the rear washer jet in the back door, here's a guide on how to replace it:
