Default 2021 Windshield Washer Behavior

When spraying washer fluid I don’t see it on the windshield. Some fluid does get excreted but it is lower on the window and doesn’t show. I only know something sprays a bit because I can see the fluid accumulate in the lower corner of the driver’s window. Is this normal or do my spray nozzles need to be re-set? The question then is, can they be reset? Thanks all.

Washer fluid is applied directly from the wiper blade. Is it cleaning your windshield? If the fluid level gets too low that could cause issues.

There isn't a problem it seems. Today--with a dry windshield--I ran the window washer again. I still didn't see any fluid sprayed on the windshield but nonetheless washer fluid was dispersed across the windshield as the blades ran. That's because, as statman said, the nozzles are under the washer arm/blade and not sprayed from separate place as in most cars. So problem solved--except--no problem!!!

Much better engineering solution especially since the wiper arms are heated.
