Mine mostly squirt and they do it in a rather akward direction (bottom of the winshield). Dealer says it's normal. On all my other cars they spray and they cover the entire windshield.

I had a loaner (CLA) for a few days and that sprayed properly.

First thing in the morning I'm a sprayer. Wait...I may have misunderstood the question.

Please. I'm 55 and BPA is the least of my pee problems. I had a doc who accidentally killed a few nerves during a back surgery a couple of years ago. Couldn't **** at all for 18 months so I had to self catheritize 4x a day. Eventually enough function returned where I got off caths permanently in November of last year. Amazing how you take stuff like that for granted.

Me too! Some permanent damage to the sensory nerves on one side of the junk but not being able to **** was definitely the worst part.

The washer pump grommet is plugged up. Remove the fender liner and pull the pump out, wipe the crud off of it. I see it all the time on new cars, I believe it's some sort of wax or dissolved paper, as it usually only affects new cars one time. After we clean/replaced the pump grommet it doesn't happen again unless the customer is using some sort of the rain-x bug spray stuff which is all slimy.

My urologist mentioned NONE of this! I don't think my pump grommet has ever even been checked. Are you accepting new patients?

If you just remembered to clean your "pump" immediately after use you wouldn't have this problem in the first place!

The washer should cover the entire windshield. There are three nozzles and all provide decent coverage with some pressure.
