Windshield washer sprayer adjustment?

[MurphyMurph]

Question: Do your washer fluid sprayers cover the entire windshield or just the lower half?

Even when stopped with no wind mine don’t reach the top portion of the windshield.

Is there any adjustment to the sprayers?

If you do a search there is a thread covering this issue

Yes I have searched and read through the other couple threads but they are related to issues with the sprayer not working. Mine work, the sprayer nozzles are just angled too far down so they only hit the bottom half of the window. As a temp fix I wedged a couple pieces of black zip tie under the edge closest to the windshield, but that’s by no means a permanent fix.

I searched as well and could not find a reference to your issue either.

Yea mine does the same thing, drivers side worse. I asked dealership about it and they said not adjustment…. Any help appreciated!

Use a trim tool and wedge/angle it up. Then don’t look at it. This works and I copied this from a 2024 courtesy vehicle I loaned.
Proper fix is to buy adjustable jets or by placing some sort of angled spacer beneath it.

Where do you buy adjustable jets from?

Sorry I’ve not looked into it yet, just wedged mine up (works fine for now). They look generic, look on eBay, and they do sell the adjustable ones with the pin in the middle but I do wonder why modern cars don’t use these any more, maybe because of blockages.

That’s what I was expecting the Grenadier to have. My 80 and 100 series Land Cruisers both did and it was nice to be able to adjust them. They were 2 and 3 nozzle style, both the fan pattern, so maybe those just don’t come in an adjustable type. They’re heated so I would expect you can’t just swap any old sprayer nozzle in.

Has anyone swapped out theirs yet?
