Anyone else have this problem? The fan patter seems okay but when I hit the spray, I get more on my hood than on my windshield and I mean by far more! My truck has a bug deflector and I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this problem or if I need to be looking into some new nozzles.

 

Try cleaning the nozzles first - just take a safety pin or needle and stick it in the holes on the sprayer. You'd be surprised how clogged they csn get. This works great.

 

Cut throwaway ends of guitar strings are convenient for this kind of thing .013" to .056"

 

If it sprays fine when you are not moving and then not so much when you are at speed I would say definitely hood deflector.
I've had them on every truck I've owned and didn't put one on my '12 and it's the only one that has ever sprayed right.

 

The 2015+ F-150s don't spray on the windshield at all above 45mph even without deflectors. I'm curious if the 2017 Super Duties have the same problem. Aerodynamics screws up the spray.

 

The sprayers may be adjustable. If you feel brave, take a sewing needle and GENTLY attempt to adjust the spray level up and down. Do this at your own risk, though. If they won't move with slight pressure, stop. You could also consider aftermarket spray nozzles, which I know for a fact some of them are available with adjustable sprayers.

 

I have a 12 with fords bug deflector and ya, it screws up the spray pattern!

 

I think I've only used the washer a couple of times on my '13 and I got very little on the hood, this was with a bug shield installed.

I'm not a big fan of using the washer unless it's an emergency because it makes a mess of the hood and top of the cab. My old '05 still had the factory installed washer fluid when I got rid of it in 2013.

 

I've had deflectors make noise with the vent shades also. That's why I only buy the Aeroskin now.

 

I'd think maybe the alcohol would cook off and risk freezing in cold weather. The stuff in my Ranger is probably from 2009 come to think of it. I topped off a little bit with fresh.
