Just like the title says...How do I adjust the windshield washers? The passenger side nozzle is shooting way over the roof of the car. It's kinds funny actually. I tried with a paper clip with no luck. I have an 04.

Mine also sprays too high on the passenger side... The black plastic thing (cowl?) is deformed thus making the nozzle points higher than normal... I just wash at high speeds so the flow falls on the windshield... Cheers...

I used a paper clip to make sure there wasn't nothing clogging my nozzle(s). In order to adjust the nozzle, I gently pushed the nozzle in the direction I was trying to move it. A very slight adjustment of the nozzle makes a significant difference in where the stream comes out and hits.

Good luck...Mike

PS If there is a 'proper' way/method to adjusting these nozzles, I am not aware and would like to know.

Mine spray the same hight, but different patterns.

The driver's side sprays in a fan pattern, the passenger side is a straight jet like someone peeing on my windshield.
