Had to replace the nozzle on the hood that sprays the windshield washer fluid and now the fluid comes out in a stream and not in the desired spray pattern. Any ideas?

Nice thing about the ones I linked is the nozzle is brass and it includes a screwdriver to adjust the spray. I didn't need to touch mine though...they worked right the first time...they do spray a lot of fluid...so it only takes a quick tap or two on the lever.

Were you able to get this on by yourself because I’m struggling with it staying in place and trying to tighten it.
 
Mac were you able to get those to point at the windshield? I've tried a bunch and every style I have had points low at the cowl in front of the windshield. I want a flat fan spray pattern that hits the windshield in the middle. I have a set of the ones you used. Haven't tried them yet. I was going to 3D print a wedge to fit under the nozzle body so the spray points up higher

** UPDATE **
I just installed the ones that you used and was able to aim them high enough, at least while the Jeep is standing still. At speed, wind might drive the spray lower.. I'll see.

In conjunction with the SilBlades I installed yesterday I am a happy camper. Nice fan shaped washer spray pattern with full coverage and zero blade chatter.

I was able to install them in about five minutes per side. I could reach over the hood with one hand to hold the nozzle pointed correctly and with the other reach under the hood to tighten them.

Per side? My hood has one spot for the spray nozzle and its in the middle.
