Windshield washers-- what should the pattern look like?

[rwiegand]

My windshield washers don't work very well. It seems as if fluid is only dispensed on the top half of the window, and not very vigorously at that. I need to run them for what seems like a long time to get fluid to dribble down to the part of the window I actually look through. Is this expected behavior or do I have a problem?

Have you tried cleaning the nozzles?

Honestly, that sounds a lot like mine. I just run them a long time compared to previous vehicles, but it works just fine.

I’ll look at them in daylight. It’s been like this since delivery. Are the nozzles obvious or just pinholes in the tubing?

The nozzles are actually part of the wiper arms. Should be easily visible. Or just follow the hose.

This may be of interest to you.

My passenger side washer just dumps the fluid on top of the wiper blade which then spreads it over the windshield. I'm not sure what the dispenser nozzles look like. I realize the are part of the wiper blade (2023 MYLR)
