Windshield washers nozzles adjustment.
I need to adjust windshield washers nozzles (again). Last time I've asked at the dealership, they said "well, usually we charge $120 for the "car winter preparation" but we can do this free for one/first time". Needless to say, a short time after that my washers spray the fluid anywhere but where they supposed to.
If anyone could share the DIY secret how to adjust the nozzles it would be great. Thank you!

just use a safety pin/nappy pin. Insert gently into the nozzle head and move it a tiny amount in the direction you think you need. A very small movement will result in quite a big difference in water jet.
The nozzle is like a ball with a small hole drilled through it. Make sure your wipers are set to off and not Auto while you adjust.
TIP Take a look at which jet is high and which is low before you start. They are set to different places to give more coverage.
Bear in mind that the airflow while you are moving may cause them to hit the screen in a marginally different position to static.
Its just trial and error.
Be careful not to scratch your paintwork with your belt buckle or buttons while you reach accross.
