Default Wiper / Washer question.

Ok so is my car just messed up and retarded or is this how the car is really set up? The windshield washer sprayers when used shoot on to the windshield but when the wiper comes in front of it, it gets blocked and makes a big spray mess...WTF? Is this really how its made?

Also is there a way to stop the little aliens from popping out of the bumpers? Do they only come out when the lights are on?

Thanks in advance!

Default mine don't make a mess.... is your sprayer messed up maybe ?

also don't use the oem fluid... it streaks and leaves a mess i guess....

i use rainx washer fluid it doesn't streak (but note that people in colder climates complain of fogging up with the rainx fluid)

as for the headlight washers...

yeah i shut my lights off quickly so they don't pop up...

mine hits the wipers, but i dont think its a big deal. your car will get streams of washer fluid on it regardless of if it hits the blades or not

Ok so its normal then...I mean maybe I just need to adjust the sprayers higher? Should I just stick a pin inside and point them higer? It hitting the wide bottom part of the wiper arm.

if it bugs you this much then go ahead and try to adjust the sprayers up or down or wherever they dont hit the wiper. im not sure if you can do that though
