Step on the car's brake pedal, press the car's one-touch start button, the dashboard lights up, and the vehicle's power is turned on. Pull the wiper switch toward the steering wheel to activate the front wiper spray. After determining the spray height, gently push the wiper spray nozzle with a needle tip to adjust the spray height.
As a veteran car enthusiast with twenty years of driving experience, I often encounter the issue of windshield washer jets spraying too low. Here’s a direct solution: After turning off the engine, use a fine needle or paperclip to gently press against the nozzle’s small hole and push it slightly upward or diagonally upward to adjust the spray angle. Test the washer after adjustment to ensure it covers the center of the windshield. Low water pressure could also be due to clogged nozzles—clean them by rinsing the nozzle holes with clean water. For daily prevention, I use dedicated windshield washer fluid to avoid impurity buildup. Avoid using excessive force, as the nozzles are fragile and can break easily. If the spray isn’t fixed, replacing the nozzle is inexpensive and a DIY job that saves money and hassle. Remember to check before the rainy season to ensure driving safety, especially on highways where poor visibility can be dangerous.
