I want new washer nozzles. And no not led ones nor chrome ones. I want ones that spray the washer fluid more evenly. i hate it when my wassher fluid hit only two spots on my windshield. If anyone know where i could get some new nozzles please let me know.

The onlything that i envy about the civics is that they have better stock washer nozzles. It's a sad thing but i guess the solara can't be perfect.

Well when i first put them in, the passenger side right one would miss my entire windshield, so i took a needle and stuck it in the whole and moved it just a little bit. I tweaked it so now all the nozzles spray towards the center

MonkieX - Maybe the Civic nozzles will fit the Solara? How much can 2 nozzles cost....? As far as adjusting the direction, I haven't tried but it looks like the Solara has those little ball/sockets that you can adjust with a pin.

It really shouldn't be the nozzle cuz the nozzle is really simple. It could be the whole system, but what exactly does the civic do better

ahh..i figure it's only the washer fluid, i wouldn't bother wasting money on it...i mean, even if it doesn't spray evenly, the wipers will spread it anyways. like cleaning a window, even if you don't spray the whole thing, the paper towel gets everything.

besides..the washer fluid usually freezes the min it hits the window anyways :P damn...i almost had to pull over to the side of the road cause my wipers were frozen and didn't make contact w/ the window and the washer fluid froze on the window w/ nothing to wipe it off...in the dark of course!

i wanna get new wipers, but i like the factory ones, they're not flimsy like cheap lappens replacements..where can i get the same ones that came w/ the car besides the dealer?
