Windshield Washer Spray

My car currently has 48k miles, so I am tring to get any warrenty work done before my B2B runs out. On that note when I use the spray to clean my windshield the driver side looks fine. The nozzle thingy sprays 2 streams of cleaner all the way up the window, but the passenger side only sprays 2 little half *** streams a little less than a quater the way up the window. Normal?

Yes I know this is picky but I payed good money for my car and I want it working properly as long as possible

I don't know if thats covered under Bumper to Bumper.

But sounds like it might be dirty?

It's probably partially clogged. You can take a peak in it a bit and see if a little piece of something is there. If so, you can just take the hose of and maybe blow into it and hopefully unclog.

Can you use a needle to adjust the angle of the spray nozzles? I find that mine only reaches the lower half of the windshield.

You probably have some wax or pollen stuck in the nozzle, that's pretty common. If you can safely take the nozzle off the car, you can soak it in CLR and it will clean it out nicely, or stick a pin down the hole. Sometimes that makes it worse. You can also re-aim the nozzles with the pin.

You should be able to needle around to adjust the direction of spray.
