Default Washer Fluid Squirter Adjustment?

My squirters are shooting fluid WAY up and over the roof. Hardly any of it gets on the windshield. I've made a cursory check and don't see any way to adjust it.

I'd like to ask if any of you have overcome this issue before I start digging around. Plastic things and I don't get along very well...

Thanks.

I think they were designed that way, so at high speeds it hits the windshield.

My driver side one pops out and shoots at the bottom of the windshield below the damned windshield wiper LOL.

My drivers side has shot high since day one. I tried to make all kinds of adjustment to the cowling , but to no avail. I, like you, don't get along well w/plastic, LOL.
The only time it works okay is at speed.

my driver side one sprays fine, but the passenger side comes out in a stream instead of a spread like the driver side

How do you turn them to shoot the cars next to you?

Jeez this is so easy to fix, find a VERY thin wire and stick in the squirter holes, YOU can adjust the spray pattern by aiming the squirters,something that works well is the wire inside a trash bag twist wire!
