adjust washer nossels, how?

I noticed that the window washer nossels spray at the very bottom part of the windshield. Is there a way to adjust myself? or do I have to bring it back to my dealership?

I think they spray low so that it doesn't spray into the cabin when sunroof is open.

My left one sprays low. I moved it up one notch and then it would hit the hood coming out of the nozzle. Seems pretty crappy.

What's the normal spray anyway?

On mine, both nossels spray kinda uniformly on the windshield but at the same time, there's also a larger spray hitting the bottom of the windshield, just above the wiper blades. Is that normal?

No. The liquid coming out of the two nossels spray on the windshield kinda uniformly but out of each nossels there seem to be another stronger stream of liquid hitting the bottom of the windshield.

But I really think mines are not aimed correctly. I think the sprays are hitting the metal arms of the wiper blades.

By the way, how can the driver side's nossel spray without hitting the metal arm? It looks to me that the arm is right on the normal trajectory of the spray. Is the nossel spraying under the arm???

And I don't even know how to adjust the nossel (even with the responses above).

They are easily adjustable. Just take a safety pin or the end of a paperclip and stick it in the small hole where the fluid comes out. You can adjust the spray in just about any direction.

I've heard this quite often. Mine does it too. Maybe it's a factory defect or someone just forgot to adjust the windshield nozzles at the factory. lol
