If the windshield washer fluid doesn't spray high, you can manually adjust the spray nozzles. Here is an introduction to automotive windshield washer fluid: 1. Introduction to Automotive Windshield Washer Fluid: Automotive windshield washer fluid is widely used for quick dirt removal and bright cleaning of various types of glass, including car windshields, rearview mirrors, household glass, office glass, door and window glass, and decorative glass. 2. Features of Automotive Windshield Washer Fluid: (1) Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, which help in cleaning and removing dirt. (2) Anti-freeze Performance: It can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, thereby providing anti-freeze effects and quickly dissolving frost. (3) Anti-fog Performance: It ensures that the windshield remains clear and transparent, providing a clear field of vision.
I've been driving for over 20 years, and low windshield washer spray is a common issue. Usually, clogged nozzles are the main problem - you can gently clear the holes with a pin or thin wire. Next, check the washer fluid reservoir level; refill it promptly with dedicated windshield washer fluid when empty, never use tap water to avoid crystallization clogs. Faulty water pumps or motors could also be the culprit, especially in older vehicles. Last year my car had the same issue - couldn't spray properly during rain, severely affecting visibility, which turned out to be caused by pipeline cracks causing pressure loss. I recommend regular inspection of hose connections, replacing aged tubing promptly. Driving safety comes first - impaired spray affects visibility, particularly dangerous on highways. It's best to pull over for repairs or visit a workshop for thorough inspection.
