Any tricks for the nozzles?

How do you clear out the nozzles so you wiper fluid aims at the window again instead of at the roof? Thanks.

Yeah, I've noticed mine hitting higher lately as well. Might try a sewing needle - gently run the point into the nozzle to try and clear anything out of it. Anyone have any better ideas that they've used? Also I just checked the FSM and it says they are not adjustable?

I tried the sewing needle trick on my Camaro many years ago - cleaned 1 side great - broke the needle in the other side - that one never worked again. So it can work - just be careful

I always used a paperclip

Check with some local paint companys or airless paint sprayer vendor. Years ago all painters used Flat airless tips, Now they use self reversing or self cleaning tips. Any way their used to be a aftermarket needle kit (Ribbed needles) to clean the flat tips. they were a finer wire then sewing needle and did a great job I even kept a set in my tool box to clean carborator jets. For you young pups (before fuel injection). Any way check with paint supply houses I think a company called A.S.M. made a set of these or just try to find some old school painters. Their arn't many left, sniffing lacquer fumes or oil base paint fumes killed a lot of old painters off. Need to find some one older then 50 years old if you need more info PM me and I'll see if I can find anything . Havn't been in the paint business in over 6 years Technology changes.
Good Luck

Cool stuff, thanks. At least it's the passengers side that this the roof...
