Strength of passenger wiper nozzle spray stream?
How far does the of passenger wiper spray nozzle stream go? I think the third jet, farthest to the right/outside of the car hits the bottom of the windshield and the middle one is not that great either.
It is bothersome since it doesn't spray with enough fluid to completely clean that area and so it leaves crud streaks.
I'm taking my car in for a few things next Wed. and want to get feedback in case they feed me something like "its within specs" etc.
Thanks!

My sprayers are all pretty strong, but some of them arent aimed very well. you can take a needle and poke it into the sprayer to adjust the aim.
My old honda accord's sprayers worked on and off depending on if the hose got kinked the last time i closed my hood.

I was wondering when the jokes would start flying. I guess I can try using the end of a plastic coated metal paper clip and see what happens.

For the windshield sprayer, that could be a little thick. You might need to look for a thinner wire - take a look at the size of the hole. Socket7 speaks wisely - that's how you aim those nozzles. Also how you clear them if they get clogged.

Yeah a pin will work both my sprayers are pointed about halfway up the windshield and evenly spaced sometime i have to clean them after a wax job because of the damn wax getting in there but a sewing needle or something like that works
