Windshield washer question

Hey all,

I have a 97 4-Runner and have a (hopefully) simple question. The washer squirter on my driver side is hitting way too low on the window. The passenger side is up higher and perfect.

Anybody know how to adjust this thing on the hood to move it up the window?

Many thanks.

First...

Make sure the squirter hole doesn't have build up.

Not sure if the 97 Runner has the same squirter as my 92 truck, but all I did was stick a heavy gauge needle in the little hole (keep your minds out of the gutter) and move the angle up on the round piece. Hope that helps

Thanks for the info. Both are cleaned out and squirt fine.

I'll try the movement idea you suggested.

Thanks,

While on the topic, anyone have a recommendation for a good cleaning fluid? The stuff I have now SUCKS and is not effective when it come to cleaning.

Heh-heh! Any high performance, aftermarket, synthetic washer fluid?

On the question of fluid type. I've been using 20/10 All season windshield cleaner with de-icer for years. Seems to work perfect for the climate I live in. Comes in sets of 2 1 gallon jugs at Costco.
