Default Windshield wiper spray nozzles

Anything under 20-ish mph my spray nozzles put a nice centered spray. At 60-ish it only puts a blob 1 or 2 inches above the bottom of the windshield and then the wiper pushes it out of the way so it never wets the middle or top of the window. The nozzles don't appear to be adjustable in any way...do they make replacements that are adjustable or any other options...thanks. 01 if it matters

Interested in this as well. I am looking for replacements on my 95.

Was just helping somebody on another forum with ones for an '00 because he was missing one.
They are not adjustable and new ones are NA.
Plus I really could not find any aftermarket ones.
Trying to remember if mine on my '00 spray properly at higher speeds but can't.
Wonder if it a bad design or if there is a problem with yours.

To bluejeep if it were me I guess I would either try to replace them or take them off and blow them out and see what happens.

To both you guys a boneyard is the only place I can of that you will get them and it appears anything from an '88 to '01 will work.

I don't know but my guess is that other Jeep or MOPAR models of the same general era would at least be usable or in some cases may even be an improvement. I've often thought of adding a few jets.

I don't think I've had troubles with mine. One word of caution for anyone who pulls them from a scrap yard. They are held in by a small plastic push pin. When you remove the pin, support the tab of the washer jet that the pin goes through otherwise it will probably snap off.

I've had a clog or two on my '88. I managed to get them off and soak them in some white vinegar and use low pressure air to blow both ways through them.

If you "mix your own" fluid, use Distilled water.

Good info, thanks. One of mine had a broken nozzle so I'm still on the search for replacements. Off to the junkyards I go...
