Hi

I'm a new Focus owner; here's my question:
I have a 2005 ST and as I drive mainly highway I find the washers spray too low on the windshield. Can they be aimed higher, or are there revised parts available? A quick look didn't reveal anything obvious.

They can just be cleaned with a tooth pick. But now I think you may be able to move then too. Not sure good luck.

Not sure about Focii, but in other vehicles, I would insert a needle (which helps clean it out) and use it as leverage
and place the spray where I wanted.
I found midpoint between the lowest and highest part of the windshield best; a good combination of street and highway driving.
Also, are you sure your pump is giving you max. pressure?

Just my 2C

The pump seems ok; the spray is strong. just a little low at highway speeds.

Maybe a little off topic, but in Finland, the squirter is called a 'pissapoika', which translates to pissing boy. The top windshield wiper fluid brand-name is called Superpiss.

This sounds a little like going to the doctor and saying it hurts when I do this and the doctor says, "Then don't go like that."
Maybe driving under 160km/hr would help? Smile
