    Hey guys. When I try to squirt washed fluid it goes over the windshield onto the roof of my truck.

    how can I adjust them to aim more downwards? Thanks.

    also any recommendations on which tpms sensors to get? Mine are old and one of them doesn’t work anymore.
    Thanks

    I'd keep that feature. A good windshield spray is the most effective anti-tailgater device I've seen.

    Any aftermarket TPMS works. I just went with Discount Tire's house brand when I replaced mine.

    After lurking for a decade, I set up an account here just to comment on a thread that was literally asking for help wiring a switch to make the joke we both are anticipating…

    So YOU'RE the guy in front of me who gave me a bath when I was riding my bike on the highway this summer! Clearest day and took me a solid 30 seconds to figure out why I was getting wet! :rofl:

    Come on, at least answer the question before going all Friday...

    Toyota sells 2 different nozzles for the truck at different angles, I'm on mobile, so not great access to parts catalogs. But typically fussing with the nozzles themselves can get them to aim better

    Had success using a needle or safety pin to aim the nozzles on my 1st gen. You stick the pin in the nozzle itself and make tiny gentle adjustments until it’s where you want it.
    Haven’t tried it on this truck though.

    Ever get a butterfly effect on the freeway? Had a guy on my ass once and gave him a little shot of Autozone Bombay. Then he had to his his windshield. And then the car behind them. And then the car behind them..I think it went 4-5 deep. Easily one of my proudest moments on this spinning rock.

    A friend of a friend was killed in some road rage. I did not know the person at all. But, my friend guessed that windshield washers may have started it all off.

    This might be totally useless or a tiny percentage, so take it with a grain of salt.

    This summer I was riding in shorts on a few hot days and could not figure out why I was feeling water splashes on my legs. It took me a while to figure out that it was from the a/c condensers dripping.

    I hardly ever hold the washer arm for any length of time. I just give quick blasts and fluid pops on to windshield instead of roof or beyond.
