Default window washer spray?

i replaced the window washer nozzle,
and tested that it works and doesnt leak
my question is:

How high up is the spray supposed to go on the windshield?(its the first time i used it since buying the car)

mine goes max up to about 1/3 up the window from both sides (and seems to me that its sort of struggling to spray)(i looked and i see no kinks in the tubes) the back window spray also looks weak too)

Mine goes from a 1/3 to 1/2 way up, front & back. It seems funny that they both are the same for you as there are 2 separate pumps. If I am driving and use the washers it only goes up ablut 1/3 way. There is no adjustment to the nozzles that I am aware of. Maybe you could unhook the hose from the pump and use light air pressure from a compressor, might have "junk" in it.

You don't want it too high, or it won't clean the bottom of the window & simply blows over the top of the car at highway speeds.
That's what you get when the idiot in front of you sprays your car because they are incapable of any minor mechanical thought!.....like driving time spent on the mobile phone!

Stick a pin or needle in the nozzle and you can adjust...
About 1/2 way up is where I have mine.
