Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the windshield washer on the drivers side. The bottom part oif the windshield dosen't seem to get any fluid even after repeated tries. Also - I would like to try to replace my wiper blades. Any tips on how to do this.

Thanks

I found how the wipers come off (daylight helps) - pretty simple - just squeeze the clips under the wiper blade then tilt the wiper refill up. Looks like the wiper refill is a dealer only part. I didn't see any adjustment for the windshield wash though. Anyone els having the same issue with the lower driver side not getting reached?

Thanks

 

Yes I had the same problem: I drove after the winter storm last week with all the salt and it was quite annoying The wipers get everywhere except the drivers side lower left corner when you use the wash. Not sure how to fix that problem will have to ask the dealer. Could be because the washer fluid is released from the actual blades and not from the front (which at first I thought was pretty ingenious but after I saw the defect was not pleased)

 

About 2 inches of the bottom area of the driver's side wiper swipe does not come clean.

 

Same here.

 

Same here. Have to use the washer when car completely stopped and hope some drips down. Design defect. Dealer said no way to fix.
