The X5 nozzles are actually attached to the hood. You'd think some heat from the engine would keep them warm but not so. Rear washer worked ok. Be careful if you live in the south and head north...top off with some non-diluted fluid before you go.
The nozzles are heated but that doesn't help if the tank is frozen
