Default Rear Winshield Spray

I've had my 04 RX330 for more than 2.5 years and it has never done a good job of spraying the rear windshield with the washer fluid. Rather than spraying, it just comes dribbes out in 1 or 2 spots. Is this a problem with my car, or is everyone else's the same?

It should not dribble out! Should have a nice stream--2 streams actually.

Put a needle up in the spray hole as it may be clogged

I guess you could call it 2 streams, but it's not like the typical front ones that have a wide spray nozzle.

It's probably designed that way, as most other wagons, vans, etc. are. A fine spray could be whipped away from the window at speed. I've gotta go stick a pin in those nozzles myself - this weekend I was down to one stream.
