Default Windshield washer fluid pressure adjustment

Newbie here ~ my 02 doesn’t have much pressure, when dispensing fluid to windshield. Only spits out enough to hit appx bottom 1/4 way up. Is this common/normal, or any adjustments to get more splash.. Any/all input is Appreciated !

my 02 does the same, I've owned it for 12 years. Have had it checked at the dealer a couple of times and they say it is normal. Others have posted similar results so I guess it's the way they wanted it. The headlight washers will blast out like crazy though lol. If the spray holes aren't plugged, I don't think there is any adjustment I could ever find.

there should be three streams out of each nozzle or side.
make sure they are not plugged with wax or dirt…you can also remove the nozzle from the hood, disconnect the hose and check the flow volume.
The nozzles can be adjusted up/down, left/right
mine produce a good amount of flow.
