Windshield washer sprays too far up onto windshield
The sprayer on our 99 EX Coupe strikes the glass just a couple of inches below the top of the windshield. Any ideas on how to correct this?
( I did search for 'windshield sprayer' and 'windshield washer' but got no hits )
Thanks

That's why you should have kept your factory nozzles, instead of buying those light up APC ones 
.........................j/k, the safety pin trick should work fine for you.

He's about to put new wheels and tires on. It will, if I have any influence, be a member of the DFH club.

Re: Windshield washer sprays too far up onto windshield (dogpile5)
know what I did. its called rain x. use that, then you don't need windshield sprayers. I jsut have the lighted 1's and I fill my washer fluid with soda. and have hose running inside car, and rewired washer motor. hit soda button in car, and get soda.
sometimes its not soda:
I haev a tap on the go! I love it. if wishshield gets dirty, go to gas station. soda is so much cooler. and it keeps fiss for a week and stays very cool even im summer driving all over. (also hold 2 liters) hahaha
im the best.

Re: Windshield washer sprays too far up onto windshield (Rydaddy)
yeah, i did that with my old nissan. you turn the passengers to the outside, and the drivers side front. so you soak the car infront of you, and maybe any people walking on the street

Re: Windshield washer sprays too far up onto windshield (innate)
even funnier when its a convertable in front of you. but you find out how fast your car is when you see someone you know in that convertable.

Paper clip did the trick. Tried a straight pin, but it was too small.
Now, when the heck am I going to get out of this 'trial user' mode. I've been signed up on the board for close to a month (I think.)
