Question Windshield Washer Spray Adjustment??

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment to aim the windowshield washer spray nossles? Mine seem to be low and always hit the wiper blade arm. Is there a way to aim or adjust the height...or change the spray pattern from a stream to a wider spray pattern?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Ben

I used a pin to adjust the aim on mine.
The spray nossle moves in the block.
2 people makes it easer.
This worked for me

I have the same problem. It doesn't spray like it used to.... now it is just a stream. I am curious to hear of a fix. I am sure you can adjust the nosle.... maybe it is dirty. I just never took the time to figure it out.

Yeah, I was wondering too. My driver side nozzle is more toward the center of the windshield. I'd like it to be toward the left (as I'm looking at it). Would a couple of pins in the holes, and forcing it gently to the left work?

A paperclip works great.

I didn't know that, I will have to remember that if I ever need to adjust mine!

Ben, Remember when you do your adjustment, do not adjust them to high. This is a typical mistake made by adjusters. They adjust while sitting still only to find out the spray shoots over the car when driving at high way speed.

Mike,

Thanks for the tip. Did my adjustment today...and it did take several tries to get it positioned right. I have them right now...I hope they stay that way.

Do you have to re-position them often...or should they stay put?

Also...can you get a spray...instead of a stream? If not...is there a replacement nossle you can get that will give you a spray pattern?

Thanks again for everyones comments,

Ben

Seems to me a stream would be more effective than a spray at highway speeds.
