Default Can we aim the windshield fluid nozzles?

I got sprayed by the b!tch in front of me who decided to clean her windows at 75mph. I wanted to get in front of her and return the favor, but I didn't want to get the water on my windshield (I run without my wipers during the summer). Can we aim them a bit high so the water stream clears the windshield?

(Hey, it's better than shooting at her).

Shouldn't be too hard to mount a couple of sprayers on the rear bumper pointed straight up, you can buy them already color matched from Honda...

My dealer aimed mine too low. Now water gets all over my hood; I think they aimed them low as to not spray into the convertible, which DID happen. Now I don't get wet, but I wish it sprayed a little higher. Moral of this story? Yes they can be aimed, but maybe not enough to clear the windshield.

I've done this on other hondas, by putting a high-strength pin into the nozzle and move them the way you want to go.

But seriously, here's what you need. Just flip the button and turn any unhappy traffic situation into a trip to Disneyland!

Wow... now that would DEFINITELY be considered premeditated.

If you look at the nozzle itself, it looks like a half-circle that's attached to a spherical metal piece, about the size of a typical ball bearing. I want to simply tilt it upwards with a small flathead screwdriver, but I don't wanna end up bastardizing it or something.

Magic bubbles are always a good thing.

yes you can aim them, take a needle and stick it into the hole of the washer nozzle, they should be able to rotate

what works better is a small flat head screw driver. that way you can aim and angle them.
