How to access 2007 5 door Yaris screen washer bottle

[Packard]

I also have a 2007 Yaris sr 1.3 petrol as one of my other toyotas, the rear screen wash keeps getting blocked, as such I take off the rear pipe clean and soak the "squirt/nozzle" clean and it lasts for a while.

It's got the dreaded spoiler on which I think is either the mud/crud flying up as well as the bottle potentially having debris - we live I a muddy rural area.

I would like to drain the bottle and fully flush it out, my options I think are

1) disconnect the rear nozzle and then run the pump to empty (a long use of the pump)

2) place a syphon in and drain the  flush through

3) complete removal and clean out, followed by flush through.

I've searched the forums but can't find anything for a 2006 model onwards on how to access the bottle as I would ideally like to do #3

Any help is appreciated

Suppose a 4th less subtle option would be to use a hose through the top of the bottle and the pressure of the hose water may dislodge any residue and overflow from the bottle ......

I know the crud must be in there but I want to suck or remove the junk out, a Google doesn't bring anything up for this version of Yaris just the model pre 2006.

Assuming it's the same bottle for both front and rear screens - do the front jets clog up too?  If not then I'd be inclined to say there's nothing wrong with the bottle or hoses.   I'd go with option 1 but I would do it with short bursts of the pump instead of one long use.

I haven't removed a washer bottle from your particular car but they're often accessed behind the relevant inner wheel arch liner.  You'll probably be able to see whether there's any crud in it before you actually remove it.
