Default 04 Accord windscreen washer alignment - 10-06-2009 , 02:47 PM






The left washer was intermittently blocked since I bought it used a
month ago. Looks like I have unblocked it, but both washers now aim
too high, sprinkling the roof and rear window.

Is there a way to align these? I saw that one can turn them with a
screwdriver, but this seemed to only affect which way the dual sprays
go with respect to each other.

Thanks for any pointers,

Is this a normal type washer (like a little ball with a hole in it? If
so, insert a needle or paperclip into the hole and move the position
and test. Trial and error from then on I think

Not really, no. It's an assembly that fits on the windscreen sill.
Each washer hosts two jets. What one sees spraying is the same as a
plastic screw-head.

Thanks for the suggestion though!
