What owners wrote

Wiper spray nozzles do not spray on the windshield very well making it difficult to clear a dirty windshield. The wiper arms block the left and right sprayers and only get a small amount of fluid on the windshield. After the wipers leave the home position and stay slightly elevated on the windshield the center sprayer can no longer spray past it to cover the windshield either.
