washer nozzle adjustment

2000 Toyota Sienna.

How do you adjust the windshield washer fluid spritzer for the front?
While I'm at it, can the rear spritzer be replaced somehow? The nozzle
has fallen out and it just pours fluid out.

I have the same prob when taking a wiz.

I've used a paper clip straightened out and both clean and pivot/reaim
the nozzle. Rear? Don't know - wrecking yard?

Have you actually done this with a Sienna? I'm asking because whatever
I stuck in there wouldn't budge the nozzle. I have the same problem
with my 97 Camry also. Neither one wants to move. My 94 Camry never
had such problems.

Use a thick sewing needle or safety pin to aim the nozzles. Insert the
point into the nozzle, using the shank of the needle as a guide to where the
spray will go. The nozzle usually gets stuck and will take some effort to
adjust. It is like a ball and socket setup.

The rear nozzle is replaceable but you will probably have to remove the rear
trim. I have not seen the Sienna but on most vehicles, the nozzle is held
in place with a spring slip so if you're going to buy a new nozzle, get a
new spring clip at the same time.

Most likely that is because most manufactures use nozzles, on their newer
vehicles, that have a built in 'spinners' to better disburse the spray
pattern and use less fluid. Try blowing backward through the nozzle, WBMA

I use one of the those push pins. They have a nice sharp end to put
into the nozzle, and the big plastic pusher to move it about. They can
get quite tight, so give it a little force. It's just a ball and
socket which can easily oxidize together.
