SUV / Hatchback Installation Guide

Get your kit ready

Please have all contents of your ClearVU kit ready for install. Additional tools that will be needed: (power drill & 5/16th drillbit, snips or any means of cutting, and your basic hand tools) Additional tools recommended: Extra zip ties if necessary for tubing, and also if you prefer a smaller drill bit for a pilot hole.

Find the rear washer line

Now that you have all your materials needed, we will need to locate your factory windshield wiper line going to the rear sprayer. We will start by removing the panel/s that is protecting the backside of the hatch area. You may have to look around for the line a little bit… it's there! ( see picture 1A for reference) Once you have located the line it is time to insert the T-fitting provided in line with the hose.

Run the hose

Great! Now that you have inserted the T-fitting, it is time to run the hose provided. (Please see Picture 2A for reference) how to do this.

Mark and drill with your template

Once the tubing is run to approximately where the tubing will exit the vehicle, We will reference the "Drill template reference" page on our website as to where the line will be exiting the vehicle. We will match our drill template to the location ClearVU tells you to drill the 1/4in hole. (See picture 3A for reference, if there is a specific thing on template to match up on template, please match accordingly, see picture 3B for reference)

Find your template on the Drill Template Reference ›

Install the check valve

With the hose routed, attach the check valve as close as possible to the end of the hose where the sprayer will be fitted. (See picture 4A for reference) We are almost there!

Clean the camera housing

Next, we will clean and prepare the surface of the camera housing in order to install the sprayer. Use the alcohol wipe included in your kit to clean the bottom surface of the camera housing. (See picture 5A for reference) Let dry before installing sprayer. This is a critical step to ensure the sprayer will stay attached to the camera housing.

Epoxy and mount the sprayer

Using the Two-part epoxy provided please fold the epoxy in half, cut the top of the packaging off, and gently squeeze a generous portion onto something you can mix the two together. (See picture 6A for reference) After mixing and the epoxy has turned a whitish color apply a line down the center, be sure not to get any on the exit point of the spray nozzle. (See picture 7A for reference) Align the sprayer with the contour of the camera housing and center underneath the camera lens. Press firmly to the housing, allowing 3-5 minutes for epoxy to dry and a full ten minutes before connecting the hose. (See picture 8A for reference)
