Good day. It appears like the front screen wash jets on my 2023 Sportage are only focused halfway up the windscreen, which makes it difficult to clear the upper portion. I'm still getting to know my new ride. Is it acknowledged as an issue? Are the jets adjustable?

It will work for the back screen wash.


Many thanks

Your wipers definitely spread it.

In my opinion, just a little bit is more than enough.

Place no pin in the jets. As for the jets, Kias come with non-return valves.

The majority of my spray reaches the middle of the screen. Washers spray the same area and wipers finish the job, so it doesn't matter how fast I go. At first, I thought something was amiss. From my point of view, it functions adequately.

Mine don't even reach the halfway point of the screen, but after a couple wiper strokes, it appears to function properly.

Do you mean to simply keep it in for a little longer until the wipers have gone through two cycles?
