Wiper Washers

PRINCE THUNDERNIGHT · 10-04-2023, 10:31 AM

So the washers are integrated into the wipers on this car.

On mine, the drivers side squirts two streams, low onto the windshield.

The passenger side appears to squirt four streams onto the wiper blade itself.

These operations seem normal to everyone, or do I need to adjust the washer jets?

Sorry for the crappy pic—it’s a still, grabbed from a video.

Yea pretty crappy. Mine leaves streaks sometimes annoying

You can’t adjust the spray pattern. They are designed to wet the screen close to the blade to avoid scratching the windscreen.

Mine seem to work very well.

Ok, well that makes sense I suppose. So its taken around 100 years to realize this?!

Loads of cars use this approach.

I'm kind of curious how you planned to "adjust" them.

Well now that I know they’re supposed to be like this, I have no plans to adjust them.
But traditionally, you could use a pin to change the direction of the spray. Thought everyone knew this?

You can’t. They don’t need adjustment, it’s part of the design.

I know that I'm just curious how the op thought he was going to go about adjusting them. Seemed pretty straight forward.
