Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006What's with the driver-side windshield washer nozzle on current Accords?
Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center. Others, maybe 40%-50% of the fluid actually goes over the wiper. WTF > Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center.

A HUGE number of vehicles do this. >>> Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center. Others, maybe 40%-50% of >>> the fluid actually goes over the wiper. WTF [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Do you know this for sure? A HUGE number of vehicles do this. I don't know for sure, but most cars have the adjustment as bearman and Brian Smith describe. That would certainly explain why so many vehicles do it; if there were no adjustment it would be rare to see many out of adjustment but it would be rare to find any *exactly* right.

However when I checked the washer nozzles they didn't look anything like the conventional type which you can adjust using a pin. Instead they have a slot (similar to a screw head) - It's not clear to me if or how you can adjust this type. SignatureRichard > >>>> Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center.

Do they look like this: http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=oirrwy You can still use a pin or you can use a small, flat blade screwdriver. The design gives the washer fluid that fan shape wehn it comes out of the nozzle. Siskuwih...@gmail.com wrote: > > >>>> Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center.

Geez Patrick, why are you being such a dick? You were real nice when you were asking about the dealer swapping the scratched bumper on the 2006 Accord, but now that you're posting as "Nobody" from Albany NY, you turn into an a.s.

You were helped, your original question was answered in the second post of this thread. Others tried to help too, but you came back with "Then why are you responding?" when they said they "didn't know for sure". Then you go on to question if someone "really owns an Accord". You never said a word about an Accord so what difference does that make in regards to answering your question? Do you think Honda makes a different ww fluid nozzle for each car model? > > Siskuwihane@gmail.com wrote in news:1140882010.814192.267310 > > @j33g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: > > > > >> > I don't know for sure... > > >> > > >> Then why are you responding? > to question if someone "really owns an Accord".

Try reading the SUBJECT moron. I wrote that on Sunday and then on Monday I wrote "I see you did mention that in the subject line, my bad." That was an admission that you mentioned an Accord. HOWEVER, your telling me to read the subject line comes a full day after I already admitted I did, that makes you the MORON and an a.shole. Poor Patricia, married to such a jerk.

So it's not an assembly/design defect? > Siskuwihane@gmail.com wrote in news:1140879832.299896.75490 > @p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > So it's not an assembly/design defect? No. There is an attempt to cover as much windshield as possible. A minor variation either way can result in overspray, but that is easily fixed by adjusting them. Also, as soon as the wipers come on, the fluid is going to go flying in all directions, up, over, out, everywhere, that's inevitable. From the perspective of the person in the car behind, it looks as if the fluid went everywhere except on the windshield. >> Siskuwihane@gmail.com wrote in news:1140879832.299896.75490 >> @p10g2000cwp.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > behind, it looks as if the fluid went everywhere except on the > windshield. Right...when it hits the wiper dead center that's not a problem. > Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center. Others, maybe 40%-50% of the > fluid actually goes over the wiper. WTF Why not aim the flow to land on the windshield where you want it to land? This can be done easily with a needle. It's not a big deal. >> Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center.

I should add that over the years of being a driver and operator of a large variety of makes and models of vehicles. From the smallest vehicle a 1975 Mini Cooper S to the largest vehicle I have driven, a Caterpillar 775E off road truck and everything in between, all of them have had the ability to adjust their windshield washer fluid nozzles. >> What year? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Caterpillar 775E off road truck and everything in between, all of them > have had the ability to adjust their windshield washer fluid nozzles.

This year's Accord are no different than any other make of vehicle on the road, in regard to the windshield washer fluid nozzles. I have to say that you lack any visible evidence of people skills what-so-ever. If you want help, perhaps you should consider speaking with a psychiatrist first. >> As I said, you have no experience with this vehicle. > > This year's Accord are no different than any other make of vehicle on > the road, in regard to the windshield washer fluid nozzles. Uh huh. Right. All cars are the same. > I have to say that you lack any visible evidence of people skills > what-so-ever. Um, I pointed out that you have no experience with the current generation of Accords...which you don't. > If you want help, perhaps you should consider speaking with a > psychiatrist first.

I had a '79 Accord hatchback that I loved until I got creamed at a red light by a drunk. I also had an '82 that I gave to my brother in law (it was the car that would not die!). He gave it to someone else, and it's still running, albeit, now a "low rider" complete with spinners, air bags and neon lights..... > But on another note, I saw some of the years you had listed.

What you say is all fine and good, but that also doesn't change the FACT that all the vehicles I mentioned in this thread have adjustable windshield washer fluid nozzles. > Most cars, it hits the wiper dead center.
