windshild washer sprayer - sprays too far

[ragu1585]

well just recently for some D!#N reason my passenger side sprayer started shooting out crazy.. it barely hits the top of the windshield now and goes all the way back to the back of my wing.. the driver side still shoots out normal... any1 had this problem and is there any quick fix? i tried the search and didnt come up with nothing...

thats weird. ive seen stuff like that on a lot of german cars. really sucks when youve just washed your car and an Audi S8 is in front of you spraying all 3 lanes behind it with a good 30 second blast of washer.

on my stang it kinda flops out onto the windshield. i always used the little clip thingys you get with new shirts to clean out the sprayers. maybe something is caught thats raising the pressure on the passengers side.

You may have car wax in the hole, just my guess, clean out with a pin and
blast with high pressure at the car wash

Hey at least yours works, my passenger side sprayer has never worked and the drivers side one only makes it up about halfway haha.

You have a warped cowl. If you press down on the cowl in between the pass sprayer & the windshield, it'll work perfectly. The only fix is to have the cowl replaced. My Mach has the same problem but it mostly hits the windshield. I have never gotten it fixed cuz I don't want my local Ford dealer's Service Dept touching my car. Whenever I get around to replacing the cowl, it'll be fixed.

what the heck is the cowl haha .. sorry for my ignorance

ya, the cowl is warped, or one of the retaining clips holding the cowl on has failed. I am in this situation as well.

the cowl is the blask plastic piece at the base of the windshield just before the hood. your washer nozzles and wipers are located there.
