Default Windshield washer

Many of you have been disappointed in the way the OEM washer nozzle hits (or not) the windshield. Recently I purchased a pair of adjustable, 3 squirt nozzle assemblies. At first I thought about removing the hood/windshield bumpers and putting one in each hole. But after removing the OEM squirter, I used a large neoprene washer under the new (chrome plated plastic) squirter to act as a filler for the rectangular hole and mount the round new one. I aimed one of the 3 nozzles toward the passenger side and 2 toward the drivers side. I aimed them a bit high to compensate for road speed air pushing the stream lower. I found them on eBay sold by Everything Car Parts. It was a simple installation and can be made more professional looking by using a rectangular filler piece on the top and under the hood. Before you ask, I don't have photos but can take one if you need to see how it looks.

Default WW washer nozzle pictures

Here is a picture of the 3 adjustable squirter nozzle and the below hood hose connection (totally stock no relo necessary). Pardon the dust dots. It actually looks better than the photo. I've also inserted a pic of my CB antenna mount location.

Mike, glad you posted this. I wasted way too much time looking for fairly-priced adjustable 3-squirters, but never found them, what is the Ebay # ? I couldn't find 'Everything Car Parts' on Ebay search.

After installing the hood scoop and LED lightbar, I drilled two holes either side and added under-hood tubing to have a (single) squiter each side - they suck and do not aim higher enough. Appec info on the 3-squirters. Cheers
