Default Wiper Squirter Nozzles

I went to 'adjust' my wiper squirters and noticed they are unadjustable. In fact, they seem to be separate parts. Are they universally a Chrysler part or specifically Crossfire? I could not 'aim' one of mine and wish to replace if need be...

I am accustomed to just sticking a paper clip into a squirter and adjusting the aim...not so on the Crossifre. Suggestions?

I would be interested too. My wiper washer nozzles spray the top of my windshield only, also stream more than they spray. I would like to change them out for something that actually works.

You use a pin or whatever to adjust the nozzles just as you say, the nozzle moves in the fixed base.
Look in the Repair Manual if you do not believe me.

I think I've used mine... twice?

I personally hate the overspray of the acrid solution on my paint finish...

In colder climates I could see needing them more, as salt-spray can be a bugger.

They should move with the clip or pin trick.

What I found on mine was it took a little effort to actually move them.

Maybe a shot of WD-40 will loosen them up a little, especially if they have not been adjusted in years...

They work just fine, maybe you have some crap in the holes.
There is a slot just under the top of the nozzle on the front face, push a small screwdriver into it, push the little clip in and the top part comes off. Clean the nozzle and replace it.

Thx as always for the replies...I swear my nozzles wouldn't budge and it seemed that they were one solid piece on top of a post...hence my question...as I tweeked the holes the whole post (top half) as if you needed to replace whole thing...

I will go back and poke some more now with more confidence that they are the same move-able nozzles as found on every other car...

Its like a ball bearing mounted in a plastic holder, the nozzle ball should move around in all positions allowing you to properly adjust them to your needs, find a strong enough pin or simular piece of metal that will fit into the hole good and it might take some pressure at first to get it to move but they should pivot all around. They do get stuck up with road dirt and other things causing them to feel like they do not move, but they should move eventually I have never broken one yet that would not move, also they are hard to get them to spray the windshield exactly where you want them to spray just take your time and have patience
