window washer acts weird?

hey everyone, when i turn on the windshield fluid washer for the fluid to squirt out on the window it squirts out and doesnt even hit the window, the tank is full, the fluid only squirts about 1/4 and hits the window from the bottom up, dont know if the windshield washers are broken? or there isnt enough air pressure to force the fluid out?

u have to adjust them. take an ink pen stick it in the hole where it squirts out of and move it until it gets to the direction u want. it doesent squirt much cause theres wax or dirt in there. just get a needle and put it in the same hole and move it around alittle bit, this will fix it.

I never ever adjust them but its hilarious...I always tell people to check out my new license plate and i hit the button and they get soaked!! The water shoots out like 3 feet behind the car...It's fuked up but I like it...Sometimes when someone pisses me off I squirt their car when they are behind me.

I've found I can clean the nozzle out by pushing a sewing needle into the hole, about the only thing I've found small enough. Make sure you have a way to pull it out (the eyelit won't go in, but have some pliers handy).

It would see some crud in there will make them shoot in different directions, or shoot less.
