aim on nozzles for wipers

L7jr · May 3rd, 2005, 09:17 PM

Iv'e noticed recently that the nozzles on my altima on the driver side are aimed incorrectly. The nozzle has two holes...the left hole shoots too low and it sprays my inspection and registration stickers and the right hole sprays the very top of my windshield. It sprays so high that my moonroof gets sprayed. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to re-aim the nozzles without going to the dealer. I was thinking of trying a bent paperclip but I don't want to damage the nozzle. Thanks, David

I never tried it before but try sticking a needle in the hole and moving it around. If you screw it up just buy some new ones.

exactly what i was going to say. try using the smallest sewing needle you can use so you dont jam some of the white corrosion too far into the nozzle.
