How to Adjust the Height of Car Wiper Spray?
3 Answers
To adjust the height of the car wiper spray, insert a pin into the spray nozzle and lift it upwards to adjust. Move the spray nozzle back and forth until the desired height is achieved. The wiper is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of: a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade. The functions of the wiper include: 1. Helping the vehicle maintain a safe distance from the centerline on the left side of the road; 2. Assisting the driver in determining the position of the left and right wheels; 3. Aiding in judging the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the roadside; 4. Assisting in parallel parking; 5. Removing raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield.
I usually work on my own car for fun, and adjusting the windshield washer nozzle height is quite simple. First, locate the two small spray nozzles at the front of the hood. Use a large needle or paperclip to insert into the nozzle hole, then gently bend it upward or downward. Remember to test while adjusting: sit in the driver's seat, activate the windshield washer, and check if the water spray position is correct. Be careful not to use too much force, as the plastic parts can easily break. If the spray is off, it might be due to clogging from mineral deposits—just clear it with a needle. In cold weather, make sure the nozzles don’t freeze by adding antifreeze to the washer fluid. This is a simple DIY job that saves you a trip to the repair shop and unnecessary expenses.
Last time I noticed the windshield washer fluid kept spraying onto the roof, so I researched adjustment methods. The washer nozzles are all installed near the hood, some with round holes and others with flat openings. Just insert a sewing needle into the nozzle's small hole and gently adjust the angle up or down. Make small adjustments, moving only a little bit each time, then test the spray effect. Be careful not to use thick or hard tools like screwdrivers, as they can easily break the nozzle. Before adjusting, it's best to wash the car and clean around the nozzles for better visibility. Ensure the spray position covers the middle area of the wiper blade's travel path.
