Replace windshield washer nozzles with misting ones?

Posted in the general tech section, but no replies after 667 views. lol

Anyone else find the non-misting spray pattern on our cars annoying? I know there are universal nozzle kits with mist sprayers. Just wondering if anyone has even thought of changing out the OEM ones?

Interested as well, the stock ones are super annoying.

2010. Maybe the '12 OEM part would be a direct replacement? That would be awesome.

what is the functional issue you folks are having with the stock washer nozzles? are they not providing enough fluid, not allowing a proper clean, not working at all? or is this just a preference thing where some guys prefer a washer fluid spray instead of a stream? maybe i'm misunderstanding this thread...if so that's my bad..

my '09 has nozzles with 4-5 (?) washer fluid streams. does the job just fine, and that's the primary function of windscreen cleaners. it's just washer fluid. i'm not sure what makes a washer fluid stream "ugly", anyways. how is that a thing?

I just like the coverage of the misting ones is all. Feel like it's more even coverage vs. two streams from each.

Would be a cheap swap I am thinking anyways.

My 2013 coupe does not mist. It's a weak spray which is quite useless. A misting one would be a great upgrade.

I'm new to the forum so not sure if I'll get a reply. I recently bought an '09 coupe. It has 6 washer nozzles, three per housing per side. They squirt in a jet instead of a wide spray. The driver's side nozzles squirt with less pressure than the right and they squirt after the right side ones begin, but that may be a matter of the fluid getting down the line. Anyone experiencing the same thing and/or come up with a relatively easy fix? Yes, I've stuck a needle in the nozzles to try to clean out, but they don't seem blocked. Thanks!

The following is from the Coupe forum, seems someone swapped out nozzles from a 370z. Perhaps it may work for the sedans as well?

The swap is on my to-do list.

My nozzles produce one thin stream each that shoot right over the entire car and no fluid hits the windshield unless I am going like 70mph.

1. sounds like a personal problem.
2. the nozzles are adjustable, if you use a small needle to *carefully* adjust them.

I poked a needle in my holes and wiggled it around, fixed me right up! I mean, fixed the windshield sprayers right up!
