Windshield Washer
I never use it, but did today for the first time in a while. Really weak -- the stream goes about mid-way up the windshield, and is very low pressure. I'm assuming this is intentional so that you don't get a shower with the top down. Is this normal? Thanks
It is clogged due to lack of use-very common on all cars. Take a small needle and clear the tips of the jets. Should be fine after running some washer fluid through it for a few minutes.

I'm guessing you live somewhere where it doesn't snow.
Over here on the east coast, you'd screwed if you run out of windshield washer fluid in the winter.
Also, I once hit the washers with a couple of girls in the back seat (small girls, short trip)...they got wet...and screamed. Oops.
Mine squirts like that too, pathetically weak stream...
Would this be a good excuse to take my car into the dealership to have it "checked" and get a free car wash too?
But yeah, it always happen from lack of use.
