wiper fluid spray

When I use wiper fluid spray, I find that a lot of the spray goes over my windshield and onto the top of the car. WTF? Is this the norm for everybody? Is there a way to adjust this?

Was a post on this a few days ago.

Check manual. You can adjust with small screws.

An no, it's not normal that it goes over the windshield.
But I assume you test it while driving?

EDIT:
Sorry, this was for a G02 X4.
But probably same system.
If not with screws, then use a needle or something to adjust the hole a bit downwards.

I'll take a look for that thread. I've tested it at highway speeds and at at about 10mph. Both had the same results. I'm glad this can be adjusted though.

Should be the same for both cars, it's a torx screw that you turn to adjust. I did it on my G02 and adjusted them downward and their perfect now.

When you turn the screw you will see the nozzle move just turn the screw in the direction you want the nozzle to move, believe it was counter clockwise to make it go down. Can't tell you the size but it was a small one.
