Default windshield squirters... squirting roof o.o

hey guys

i rarely use my windshield squirter things, but today i did... and to my surprise the stuff shot up to my sunroof. i got a drop on my windshield, and the rest was on the hood of my car.

lol... is there anything i can do to fix this? it seems like it may be clogged with wax or something. one of the nozzles isnt even squirting

thanks

you can use a small needle to clean them and you can also move them around.

Bingo, you can aim them. Shove a pin in the hole and move it around. They should Aim somewhat high because at high way speeds it will be forced downwards.

Cheers!

Shouldn't. Just use a regular pin and it should work. I wouldn't shove it in very car. 1/16" is probably all you need. This is one of those projects where you should exercise a lot of precesion, gentleness, and finess...lol

Cheers!

Oh, found pics to help





(Those little metal thingies swivel.

turn them all the way to the right, so when you stop at a red light, you can soak the car next to you!.. haha

Actually on my old VW I had one on the rear that pointed straight back during the summer. It was effective at stopping tailgaters.

one time my mom tried the needle trick on her accord and moved the squirter. while on the road at a stoplight, she tried it and it sprayed a guy next to use cause his window was down. it was a good one.
