Windshield Washer Nozzle Adjustment

[Gavin Allan]

Is there any way to adjust the alignment of the windshield washer nozzles? The nozzle on my driver's side hits way too low.

i normally take a push pin put pointy end in hole, adjust it and test it.

Be careful not to shove it in all the way though or you'll destroy the spray pattern of the nozzle.

Tried it with the pin, being very careful not to go very deep. I screwed up the spray--now it just dribbles out in a splat, instead of the distributed spray.



ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Gavin,

That's the way I always adjusted mine. I use a pin or a needle in the squirt hole, and lever the nozzle up, down, left or right as needed.



I prefer to have my washers hit close to the top of the windshield. That way when you are driving at 70-75 MPH the headwind will make the washer fluid hit in the middle of the windshield.

I have the same problem. You can bend the tubing from underneath the hood but it only lasts for a little while, then it goes back to the way it was.
