Why isn't the washer fluid going where it should?

[Gianni682]

No problems at all with my washer fluid... while ATTENTED to a traffic signal. YET, while going over fifty miles per hour, it completely omits the region that the motorist can see in front of their nose! Fluids can't clean that area because of the wind. Terrible layout; give it a go the next time you're driving. Look at that dry spot and tell me I'm incorrect...

At 75 miles per hour, mine operate just fine. Make sure the wiper arm is in the right place before continuing. The process of removing ice from the windscreen has unintentionally removed them.

Though I would have preferred a more uniformly saturating mist (for the front and back, particularly that stream for the back glass), it's actually quite passable.

In addition to double-checking spirod's suggestion, I would just extend the duration of the wiper spray anytime you are travelling at a greater pace. On a purely anecdotal basis, I think it makes a noticeable difference to lightly tap the brakes while travelling at highway speeds and to spray washer fluid to ensure better saturation.


(At least for many of these newer vehicles that want to conceal the wipers beneath the hood to the extent that you have to switch them to service mode to bring them up) The washer fluid spray installed on the wiper bars themselves is a brilliant design. The washer fluid spray on the new Palisade is permanently mounted below the windscreen, so it barely reaches the top portion of the window either parked or driving.

I feel the same way. The washer fluid is propelled over the top of the automobile by the air that enters through the hood, which then strikes the windscreen. Since this may pose a threat to users' safety, I believe it requires redesign and subsequent updates.
