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. Norton |

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.

Windshield washer sprayer problems
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.

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.
