Default How do i Re-Direct my Washer Fluid Nozzle

Don't know if this happens to everyone, but i wouldn't think so. When i turn my window washer fluid on, the left side shoots way too high, usually if the blades aren't in the way it will shoot over the roof, and arc back down and land on my rear window. This gets very messy, and if it doesn't go that far. It usually hits the top of the window out of range of the wiper blades, and slowly drips back down while i'm driving, or it freezes up there. That's just the left nozzle, and there's 2 spots where it sprays from on each, so the left nozzle, left hole shoots high, but the left nozzle right hole shoots low. I think if i can just rotate it the right will go higher and the left will go lower. And overall the right nozzle is ok, but a little high also. Any tips on adjusting anything?

Hi, I have not faced this difficulty.

I have search this Forum, couldn't seems to find suitable solution.

The one I have here is more general but perhaps it may help too.

...you're leaving out the funny part. At highway speed, you can TOTALLY hose down a tailgater. Much funnier than tapping the brakes!

Brings back memories from years ago when I made the mistake of drilling the hole out with a small diameter drill.
It cleared out the hole, but also screwed up the spray angle.
Ended up having to replace the nozzle.

The service manual says to use a safety pin to adjust the aim point. Stick it in the end of the nozzle and carefully rotate it until it sprays in the correct location.

I had that happen on the drivers side and my dad helped me fix it when he was in town - we used a safety pin. Just adjust a tad, squirt the fluid until you get the right angle. Takes just a few minutes...

Ok thanks guys, but won't be able to try for a little. I won't be home until dark tonight, and gonna snow all day tomorrow. And about tailgaters, usually don't have that problem since im usually going faster then everyone else. Maybe I can point them ahead to spray on slow-pokes.

I know huh, I do that all the time. I'm thinking of redirecting the nozzle to spray over my roof for a more direct shot, lol.

This is exactly what I've done with a few of my past cars.

Works well, but be gentle and test after each bit of pressure.

You will think you haven't adjusted anything and then when you try it you may find you actually over adjusted.
