    The windshield wiper fluid sprayer on my car blows and misses a spot at the lower, dead center spot on my windshield. This causes the dirt/salt that is there to smear over the rest of the window keeping my wiper blades from fully cleaning the window. Does anyone else have this problem and if so is there an easy fix to get the sprayer to hit that area? I could imagine you could deflect it by putting something in or around the nozzle but that seems kind of risky because it could block the whole nozzle or, at very least, make it look pretty ghetto.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    I will try cleaning the nozzle but it has always done it. It does spray in an even pattern on the rest of the windshield but, for whatever reason, it doesn't hit that spot.

    Pulse that ****.

    Just tap the button a few times; it won't spray full-bore then.
