Default Windshield Washer Jet Adjustment?

Hi,

2004 Roadster has windshield washer jets that hit the driver behind me. Out of the four jet streams, two hit part of the windhsield and two spray the surrounding planet.

How do you adjust these jets?

Thanks!

You use safety pin or a small paper clip to adjust them. You adjust them by placing the pin in the tip of each nozzle and move them to where you want them to spray.

Thanks, Robbie! I was afraid it was something that simple.

Like Robbie said, use a sewing needle or safety pin, insert it into the nozzle tip and gently move it around to loosen it up. Then, and here's the worst part, after years of cursing the spray like me, you can aim it anywhere on the windshield you like, total control over the spray pattern! A little trial and error and you're home.
