THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE DOES NOT REACH THE WINDSHIELD AT HIGH SPEEDS (30MPH+). THEY ONLY WORK GOOD WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS MY SECOND 2014 VERSA NOTE AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST ONE BUT NOT QUITE AS BAD AS THE NEWER ONE. I TALKED TO THE MAN AT THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THEM TO SPRAY HIGHER. I PUT SMALL METAL WASHERS UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SPRAYER NOZZLES ON THE FIRST ONE BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING FOR THE NEW ONE. I TRIED TWO WASHERS BUT THAT JUST LIFTS THE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY OUT OF THE HOUSING AND THE WASHERS FALL OUT. I DRIVE ABOUT 1000 MILES PER WEEK AND THIS IS A REAL ANNOYANCE AND A HAZARD IF I CAN'T GET THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR. I HAVE TO BE SURE TO CLEAR THEM AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. *TR
