Fixing Direction Of Windscreen Washers?

[jez9999]

Why do they make windscreen washer squirters that can get misaligned? You wouldn't think it was that tough to just make them work reliably.

Anyway on my Toyota Corolla, all 4 of them are squirting in the wrong direction; too high, off to one side, etc. Is there a way to fix the alignment of the windscreen washers?

stick a pin in the jet and adjust accordingly!

You need a pin or something of a similarly small diameter and some patience.

The water jet is a ball and socket assembly, of which the ball is adjustable, but remember, a little movement on the ball translates to a large movement in water jet direction.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers.
