What up guys,

My windshield washer sprayer shoots so damn low on my window, they honestly spray just above my wipers. is there any way to adjust it or replace them?

Thanks.

Use a pin or similar. Insert in nozzle and re-aim.

They are fixed and cannot be adjusted.

If I buy new ones for like 15 bucks, are they easy to swap?

Try to re aim like Norton proposes. There is a tiny ball which rotates in a socket thru which the water comes out. A common pin placed in the tiny hole can rotate the ball in the socket thus directing the stream.

At least every other car I owned had that.

Alas I see there is no ball just a square hole.

How is the stream normal or weak. Perhaps your pump is bad or a line kinked?

It's strong... Just aimed in a stupid spot. So frustrating especially when I'm driving... The wind just pushes it down further.

I moved mine using a finishing nail.
My car is an 07 3 dr.
Maybe there is some crud in there.

Ok. I'll give it another shot. If it goes, great.. If it breaks, I'll be back to ask you guys how to change them. Lol.

It's cold these days. The pump tend to not pump as well when it's cold.

Mine shoots stupid low in the winter. In the summer it's perfectly fine.

I think there is a TBS to change the nozzle on the hatchback because some early models shoot too low.

Video?

Btw, I find it work best when the car is still.

While driving, it never shoots high enough.

It is indeed a good idea this Valentines day to make sure your nozzle is aimed properly. Otherwise someone will stick a pin in the tiny hole.

My driver side is fine, my passenger side is like that year round.

I always hated the spray characteristics of my '06 hatch. Part of the problem was the physical location of the nozzles on the cowl which they rectified with the '08 model year believe it was. I was able to snag the wiper cowls of a '10 model year and was surprised when I used the new nozzles for the first time that the spray was now a fan as apposed to a stream. Much, much better.

That's weird, cuz the first drops that come out sprays the whole windshield. It's better in the summer and aiming it higher means it will always go over the roof when standing still. I know the way it is spraying right now sucks, especially on the highway.

Really? I thought all 2nd gen yaris had the fan spray. My 1st gen echo had a stream...

I'm pretty sure there is a TBS for the hatchback.
