How to adjust windshield washer nozzles?
My windsheld washer nozzles spray way too low and off to the side. Is this something that I can adjust myself?

You might have some crud in the nozzle and its redirecting the flow.
Find something skinny enough to insert into the nozzle and see if that helps.

Take a paper clip or small nail and insert it into the nozzle hole and move it around to adjust the stream. The center piece is a ball and it will rotate.

pretty sure it's in your owner's manual (which you can download if you lost it) but alnielsen pretty much nailed it. I think the manual calls for a sewing pin, IIRC.
