    Speaking of wipers...

    OK, I searched (maybe poorly), but I couldn't find the answer to:
    How do I get the nozzle to spray washer fluid past the driver's side wind deflector? I'm thinking of just using a toothpick or some other long, slender tool to redirect it manually, but I thought I'd run it by you'all first.

    I had to redirect mine manually, I think I used a jumbo paper clip. A toothpick might break so just try to find anything thin and strong. You will need to adjust a few times because every bit you move it drastically changes the spray path.

    I'll try that, thanks.

    I wanted to make sure, just in case someone said OMFG you'll break it.

    just wondering...why?

    trying to understand. What's a wind deflector?

    thanks.

    The wind deflectors are the black fins on the fronts of the wipers; they keep the wipers on the windshield when you're going, say, 80 in the rain. Without them, the airflow coming off the hood slips in between the wipers and the glass, and very little actual wiping occurs.
