My 2021 SE's passenger side washer jet is aiming rather low and is difficult for the wiper to do its job especially in the winter time. I bought it to the dealer for adjustment and they reported back that the jet meets factory spec and no adjustment is necessary! Is this true? If not, can anyone know how to adjust it?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't done this since Gen 1, but back then you could insert a paperclip into the nozzle and adjust the aim.

Edit: this was also useful for clearing mineral deposits when the nozzles got clogged, but I haven't had that problem in a long time.

Thanks for the advise. I'll give it a try.
Seems like I am the only one complaining about this. Maybe the dealer is right.

The least likely scenario.

I haven't tried adjusting my SE's jets, but if the paperclip doesn't go in easily, the nozzle may be too small for your paperclip. In that case I'd switch to a pin (safety or straight) to try the adjustment. I'm sure you don't have mineral deposits in your young SE.
