Windshield Washer Fluid Odor in Cabin

I now huff the windshield washer fluid in the store to determine which one I buy haha

Someone should make one that smell like bacon.

While the above comments are correct relative to the odor getting into the cabin, the low pressure from the emitters could be concerning.

I noticed that my washer fluid was not covering the entire windshield like it did when the vehicle was new (2023 R1T). When I looked in the frunk, I found the fluid had leaked all over the sides of the frunk tub. Turns out the fluid tubing split within the cover under the hood and dripped down after use. Thankfully covered under warranty. So you might want to have a Rivian Tech look at it.

I have had the same experience.. although I believe it was because there was fluid leaking from the nozzles. After using the windshield fluid I would notice fluid leaking from the nozzles when I opened my frunk. The service center replaced the hoses and nozzles. I have to change the filter and test if anything has changed. I'm hoping that was the culprit.
