You might want to check that reservoir then. Some of the fluid blends will gel.Confession: I use the windshield washer so rarely, I've never bought new ww fluid; never refilled a reservoir. My '06 Chevy still has the OEM fluid (wiper blades, too). Been driving since 1966. Weird, I know. But I wash my shield by hand/squeegee when it gets dirty. I hate the half cleaned mostly smeared look of using the ww.
Yea, I was just gonna say that!Thought I'd follow up to finalize this.
Got a answer finally from Peak regarding what the "alien spores" were. As suspected. Here's their answer:
"...they were most likely mold growth. This can occur on occasion to a +32ºF windshield wash that contains no methanol despite adding a mild biocide as a preventative measure. When the product is opened and reclosed or when filled at the filling terminal..."
Thanks for closing this out.Thought I'd follow up to finalize this.

Sounds like it is safe to rebuy their stuff -- they stand behind it.I'd like to also say their Customer Service is top notch too. Not only did the CSA send me a high end set of Peak Silicone Wiper Blades but they also upgraded me to a $20 gift card for bringing this to their attention. That being said, I don't think I'll ever buy another plant based washer fluid. In fact, I'm making my own now.
Yeah but I'd rather not have to clean out the wiper fluid reservoir and system again.Sounds like it is safe to rebuy their stuff -- they stand behind it.
