Aiming Windshield Washer Jets?

[Gavin Allan]

Has anyone tried to reposition their Trac's windshield washer jets? Mine hit mostly way too low on the windshield- but I don't see any way to adjust them up.



Thanks.

The hood mounted washer jets can be aimed by using a small needle or pin. The jet is usually in a ball and socket assembly and moving the ball redirects the water jet. Insert the pin into the hole in the jet and move it up, down, left, or right as needed.



Wipers that incorporate the washer nozzle in the wiper arm cannot be aimed and cannot miss the windshield unless they have become detached or broken from the wiper arm.

Mine don't appear to have a ball/socket to move. They have a rectangular opening that doesn't appear to have any moving parts. I was hoping someone here had the same problem and figured out a way to adjust it. My thoughts are to bend the hood in the area where the jets snap in, or try to shim them on one side, etc.

Look real close inside the square hole and you will see the "jet" for the washer fluid. Stick the pin in there and see if it moves.
