Adjusting the windshield squirter?

Does anybody have a suggestion how to adjust the windshield squirter? Mine sends out 3 squirts but the 2 side ones seem aimed too far to the sides to be too useful. The nozzle at the base of the windsheid does not seem adjustable.
Has any one done this?

Covered in the Owners Manual - use a needle (or something similar) to adjust each of the nozzles to where you need them to hit the windshield.

We call the "windshield squirter" the "dog." As in, "Better pick up some windshield fluid while you're out today, the dog is low."

Don't know about the '09's but my '08 has a little metal nub on each of the 3 nozzles. You can use a small flat bladed screwdriver to push that nub (or whatever it's really called) to point the attached nozzle in the desired direction.
