Washer fluid jets aim too low on windshield.

[M1KL83]

Anyone else find that their washer fluid jets aim too low on their windshield?
I find that the washer fluid spray hits only the lowest 25% of my windshield and then the wipers have to pull the fluid to the remaining area.
Can the washer fluid jets aim be adjusted?

Don't know about the re adjusting the aim but mine sprays a bit too wide imo. It gets on the side of my car and gets water spots. And yes I am not driving when using the wiper fluid.

No, mine work fine.

Had the car since April, never used them yet. Would be interested to see how they spray

You are very lucky to have your highway clean

Our Highways are filthy shit dirty. My civic is put away for the winters, and also doesn’t see much highway use at all. It’s mainly used on municipal roads within the city. Sorry, should have mentioned it’s not used all year long

Yeah, it's too low.

Are you spraying while driving? Every car I've owned sprays on the bottom 25% if the car is moving but sprays fine when stopped. Airflow makes all the difference.

I check mine ; no adjustements

No issues on my hatch. I use the windshield washer fairly often in winter time.

Stationary, not while driving. While driving it's more like bottom 10-15% of windshield.
This is my 5th Honda (3rd Civic) and never noticed this to be an issue before.
First world problems..I get it.. but was more curious if mine is a one off or if others are having a similar experience.

Thanks for chiming in!

The rear washer fluid jet (Hatchback) on mine seems to be aimed too high. The fluid basically doesn't hit the window at all. The windshield ones do seem to hit very low. In fact, I've thought many times it was because I was low on fluid but the tank was full.

Pretty sure I've gone through most of a bottle of wiper fluid this week alone. The weather has been awful.

Same here. It's a pain.

Usually, the spray nozzle is on a ball joint type set up allowing you to adjust them. Haven't had a chance to see if these are that way or not.
On my 7th gen I purposely have the passenger side spraying over the car so I can spray people who ride my ass. James Bond style.
