Default Adjusting Wiper Fluid Jets??

I have a base model 04 and I wanted to know if it is possible to adjust the wiper fluid jets.

When I spray fluid, it really sprays! If the sun roof is open, it's almost like rain inside the cabin. They spray so wide to the sides that it leaves water spots on the front fenders and all down the sides of the car.

This is especailly frustrating right after a wash and wax as the car looks like crap with water spots on it.

A needle or pin inserted into the nozzle, then push in desired direction to aim.

I don't think the spray itself is adjustable but you can direct the aim of the spray to the middle of the windshield so it doesn't go over the top or out over the sides.

The volume of fluid isn't the issue so much as the fact that while it cleans the windshield, it gets everything else dirty in the process

Default Re: loss of windshield fluid pressure

I am having problems with the loss of winshield washer fluid pressure on my 04 cruiser. Last month the drivers side quit all together and now the passenger side gave up the ghost. What is the fix for this problem? I have lots of fluid and the pump is running? Should I remove the under hood pad and start tracing the lines back to the pump or go and see the dealership? Please help........thanks

Try pulling tubing off nozzles first to see if nozzles are plugged...
