| Description of the problem | The windshield washer nozzle does not reach the windshield at high speeds (30mph+). They only work good when stopped. This is my second 2014 versa note and i had the same problem with the first one but not quite as bad as the newer one. I talked to the man at the dealer and he said that is the way they are supposed to be. There is no way to adjust them to spray higher. I put small metal washers under the front of the sprayer nozzles on the first one but that is not working for the new one. I tried two washers but that just lifts the nozzle assembly out of the housing and the washers fall out. I drive about 1000 miles per week and this is a real annoyance and a hazard if i can't get the windshield clear. I have to be sure to clear them at stop lights and stop signs. |
