Default adjusting windshield washer sprayer

Hi All, I dunno since when did Civics came out with the spray type windshield washer vs the stream type. But I have a little bit of problem with mine now because it's aimed high. I'd like to adjust it down a bit but the sprayer fixed. Is there a way to move it down? Is there somekind of a tool or something to adjust it?

When my squirties started pooping the washer fluid on the hood instead of squirting over the windscreen, I bought the sprayers at advanced auto for like a few $ and they work better.

Use a safety pin. Just carefully insert the sharp end into he holes and move it like a joystick. Works like a charm.

PM me if you have any other questions about it.

windcalmer: i've checked the spray spout... it seems like it is not adjustable unlike the older ones with 2 small ***** to adjust. This one is just like a fixed assembly with a wider hole for the spray. It sucks being unable to adjust it. It sprays more on the upper half of the windshield.

Take a picture of the setup and post it. There might be a way to adjust it that we could see if we had a pic.
