My windshield washer spray hits the windshield about 6 inches above the bottom. The washer does a poor job of cleaning the windshield where I look through, about 6 to 10 inches from the top. Is there a way adjust the aim of the spray so it hits farther up on the windshield?

take a needle and simple stick it inside the hole (dont be a pervert now! lol) and move it upwards. i want to remind you that if you aim higher, at highway speeds it going to be carried over the windshield due to the aerodynamics of our car - and wont be effective at cleaning your window.

they are aimed lower to compensate for the wind at high speeds. mine are also low, and i am not moving them. i simply use a few extra seconds of the washer fluid to compensate.

I've noticed that mine is aimed pretty low too. The aerodynamics thing makes sense too, but I'm going to see if I cant aim it even marginally higher to reach some sort of happy medium. Because at low speeds, the washer blows.
