My 2014 Rogue's washer spray is very low. It only sprays the lower quarter of the windshield. I tried to adjust the sprayer, but its not the same as other cars. There is nothing in the manual about adjusting it. Any suggestions?

Are you attempting to use it with the vehicle sitting still? It's that way by design. It works just fine when the vehicle is in motion. If your vehicle is parked, Nissan assumes you're going to clean the windscreen by hand rather than run the wipers.

who has been refilling your washer fluid? many places(quick lube style) use dirty nasty old bottles with heavily diluted junk washer fluid. that clogs your nozzles. try and take a needle to the nozzle point.

Its brand new, so from the factory or dealer. It has a strange design as I cannot see the individual spray nozzel. There is just one large square hole. I tried a needle, but nothing moved.

I have the same problem with my 2011 Rogue and have not been able to adjust the spray. In the service manual I think it says to use a needle but the nozzle doesn't seem to be movable. The manual shows specific spots on the windshield where the spray should hit. Mine hits about 6 inches from the bottom, regardless of speed, which is well below where the manual says it should be aimed. What I try to do is time the spray so it hits the wiper arm on the way down. This seem to deflect the spray further up on the windshield.

Can these be adjusted? Mine are spraying low onto the windshield. I don't want to start prying on them and damage it. I took a close look but, they look NOT adjustable to me, can someone confirm.

Thanks

Per FSM (for 2013):
Insert a needle or similar object (A) into the spray opening (1) and
move up/down and left/right to adjust the spray position.
NOTE:
If wax or dust gets into the nozzle, remove wax or dust with a needle or small pin.
