Adjusting windsheild washers
How do u adjusting windsheild washers to spray up more. On all my other cars i could use a paper clip and stick it in the hole that sprays and bend it up. This car is a solid piece.Needs to come up quite a bit.

I don't think they are one solid piece, it just feels like it due to the little nozzles sticking from residue. Use a very stiff sewing needle or something, a paper clip will just bend. Might need to rub a little dishwashing detergent or some lube in the nozzles to loosen em up.

Well i tried to use a needle but still could not move it. So i thought maybe there was a little dirt in the nozzle. Used my compressor to blow out the line. Big mistake as i blew the guts out. Well of to the body shop. Hope it does not cost a fortune.

Can you repalce the nozzle you obliterated? I would have to assume they're fairly easy to replace??
I'm sure any shop is going to chage $95+ an hour for labor
Here's the nozzle;

That's not the part it's the black piece that sprays the fluid onto the windshield. Just came back from the shop needs the entire piece on the hood. He ordered the piece in the matching color $24.95. Labor$24.00. Same shop the replaced my door lock Actuator for $95. People should look into body shop prices instead of Lexus service. On work that they can do.
