Rear Wiper how to put more fluid????

Hey guys I have an 08 997tt and it has a rear wiper, I think there is no fluid left because when I try to clean the rear window no fluid comes out. I tried to add more fluid in the main compartment yet no fluid comes out in the rear window but comes out on the main winshield. My question is where would I need to add more fluid for the rear wiper. I checked the manuals and it does not indicate. Tks

There's only one reservoir so if there's fluid in there it's a problem somewhere else - clogged line or outlet?

In looking at the owner's manual, I'm not even sure there is a rear washer function. I think only headlamps (if optioned that way) and front wipers have the washer function...so don't make the 1 hour drive.

the 996 doesn't have the function of washing the window and I am sure that neither the 997 has it.

there is only one reservoir for the washing fluid.

Seems that a nozzle would be easy to locate if it were there. As alex55 said the 996 doesn't have one.

The parts manual doesn't show any "plumbing" back there so no washer.

What lever or button did you use to activate the rear washer...as I said, my version of the owner's manual doesn't show one.

instead of pushing the lever forward(which would activate the front windshield washer) I would push the lever back and the washer fluid would come out and the back wiper blade will go back and forth a few times. The manual I have also does not show how to add fluid.

A mystery - pretty sure there's only 1 reservoir. I have an 08 TT also and there's nothing in the owner's manual that describes how to activate the washer function with the rear wiper...not that the owner's manual is always correct, but I find it strange that nothing is there. Plus when you look at the PET diagrams there are details for the front wiper washer hoses and the headlamp washer hoses but nothing for the rear window other than the motor, arm, brackets, etc. I don't think you have a rear wiper washer function just the wiper.
