Default Washer Fluid Spray nozzle

I live in Massachusetts...tons of snow, tons of wiper use. The stock wipers are bad, and I've replaced them with Silblades, great stuff. My question is this: Is there an after market spray nozzle? I find that the stock nozzle does a good job of hitting the upper half of the windshield, but it doesn't hit the lower half. Secondarily, does the stock one adjust?

thanks,
MrM.

I always laughed at the car in front of me cleaning my window. Now I think I'm doing the same.

I have used these on my Mini before. They work great and are very adjustable.

I haven't looked at mine but most washer nozzles can be adjusted by sticking a needle in the opening and moving it in the direction you want. This worked on my wife's Caravan as she had one side spraying low. Most of these have a ball and socket design which is fully adjustable. Just don't JAM the needle in!!

Yep adjustable, just keep in mind to leave it spray a little high as 60 mph+ the wind brings the sprey down that much more.

Default Washer spray

I wanted the drivers spray more left (from the drivers seat) The dealer thought it was adjustable but found out (or at least said so)that it's not. He has ordered a new one and it came in today and I may give it a try. I can't believe another one will do anything different. Mike

I also discovered it was not adjustable. I'm going to try to shim it just a bit in the front. Really bad design.
