I check my washer fluid once a month, I've had the freezing washer fluid problem but my real problem is the washer nozzles hit the bottom of the windshield instead of the middle of the 'shield, a waste of fluid. It is better than shootiing over the windshield like my old toy pickup. What I could really use are defroster vents in the windshield pillars. It takes sooo long to defrost high enough for me to see. That's with my control knob at 11 o'clock position.

I did that with the toyota, the nozzles moved nice & easy. The smart ones seem a lot stiffer and I wasn't sure if they'd move or not. Didn't want to take the chance and break them.

Adjusting the washer jet nozzles

adjusting:use a needle to move washer jet nozzles left, right, up or down.

Check the setting of the washer jet nozzles at regular intervals. The washer jet nozzles are correctly set when the water jet hits the windshield or rear window approximately in the center.
