For the first time I used the windshield washer spray and noticed that
there was lots of water on the roof and the rear window of my car. I
thought that I could simply bend the spray nozzle and fix the problem,
but it can not be done. Spray nozzles are housed in casing and can not be
bend and/or redirected.

Any ideas about what can be done about this?

 

Weird design, but it will aim right at your windshield when you drive.

 

Some of the water does land on the front windshield, however more than half of the water goes to the roof and rear window.

 

Sounds Chrysler-like.

 

Make sure your sun roof is closed when you spray!

 

On my older cars, I used to make adjustments to the washer nozzles using a small pin... but I haven't seen the TL's nozzles...

 

you can adjust the nozzles and have it spray lower but when you drive it won't spray high enough. i think the reason is because the nozzles are located closer and somewhat lower to the windshield that acura had to make it aim higher in order to be able to hit the windshield when the car is moving. the traditional nozzles are further out on the hood and a little higher up therefor the spray is more direct.

 

That's illegal in some towns... Just make sure you're 21!

I also noticed that my washer nozzles were firing too high on the driver's side of my TL. While the nozzles ARE adjustable, I was unable to do so such that they fired into the center of the windshield. I found that it was all too easy to have them fire into the wiper arm itself. I have now returned their setting to the top of the windshield. My 2000 did not have adjustable washer jets, but they were properly aimed at the factory.

 

How the nozzles can be adjusted?

 

This is VEGAS, Baby!

Waaay past 21... in fact, I'll be counting backwards this year!

 

mine too wawawa.......my roof and rear window get soaked if i hold the lever for more than a second

 

this is really annoying because what ends up happening is the mist goes all over your roof/rear/sides and leave water spots...happened to me today after i washed it

 

So how do you adjust the nozzles?

 

open your hood, you'll see the nozzles, with a pin or paperclip, you can adjust them

 

Can't you just not pull on the washer lever so hard? By not yanking it forward, wouldn't it not come out of the nozzles with such force?

leave it high, spray it when u have tailgaters. it works on the freeway and its funny.

 

yeh but when it happens to you it's really not that funny

 

My old Trooper sprayed very high and would shoot a LOT of fluid in a tight stream. I used to be able to practically give the guy behind me a car wash if he got too close. It was loads of fun. I eventually adjusted the driver side washer a bit lower, but I left the passenger side aimed high just for tailgaters.

 

i used them the other day and accidentally sprayed some older ladies in their convertible 3 series behind me, i saw them in my rearview and they were pissed (i laughed)

 

That's whut happin's when ya lower yer car
