Has anyone here replaced their squirters with fan spray type nozzles?
Looking for a more even spray across the windshield

Hmm I may look into what else will work mine are shooting over the windshield. Kinda funny but not useful.

kevin - if you stick something small like a toothpick or a dental pick into them, you can adjust the height/direction of spray
I modded (well, bent) the squirters on my car in HS (the AMX below) to spray over the windshield and roof and hit the car behind me while at speed. Made some people think it was raining. Anything for a teenage laugh...

If its really stuck and you can't move it, a couple drops of CLR can help unstick them.
Thanks I had not really thought about it that hard. I will try to adjust them but a set that are similar to the ones on our Element would be nice.

Just a comparison between the two types...
I'd rather have the full spray coverage than thin streams

I found those pix on a random Google search
Just wanted to know if anyone here found something that was a direct fit before I go hacking away at my hood
I have been really thinking of fixing this deficiency. The solution I was going to look into, but haven't had time, was to install a system similar to the one on my 2010 GMC Sierra. The water line is integrated into the wiper blade itself and has two nozzles per arm. The resulting pattern is very evenly dispersed right in front of the wiper as it makes its way up or down the window. It works very efficiently and only uses the washer fluid exactly where you need it. In the pic I have attached you can see the two square nozzles, one on the right and one further down on the left. I know its not an answer to your question, but thought you might like different ideas.
Looks like $12 from Amazon:

2005 and newer camry or Lexus should work, if the holes are the same shape

Looks good, but I'd like to hear from anyone with first hand experience installing them on an 80
Reason I ask is due to the finicky diverter valve design
Too much back pressure on the front nozzles will cause the valve to open and spray out the rear nozzle
That's the problem I have when the front nozzle freeze up in ice storms (and yes, I already have a new diverter valve installed)
2005 and newer camry nozzles are under the hood, like on my VW.
There's a lexus part that looks promising, at $20/ea.

Am i confused or did some series cruiser have a washer bottle with two ports, like for two pumps. I could swear I've seen one.
I hate the whole idea of the diverter valve. With a couple relays we could just drive a separate pump for front or rear.
Yeah, 85325-60012, washer bottle for HDJ80, seems to have ports for two pumps, but will it physically mount in an FZJ80?

or we could just add another reservoir somewhere. Come to think of it, it would only require one relay.
Use the signal for the diverter valve to throw an SPDT relay that diverts the washer power to the 2nd pump. Wah-lah.

This is exactly what motivated me to look for the same thing. I have purchased a set from Autozone.. just a generic brand, My hood off for some overhaul work but when I get it back on I will post the results.
