New squirters, lines, and pump. Squirts over the damn roof. Also stays on too long. Whats the deal?

You have the model for T-Top cars. Have to keep the windows on the roof clean :). Not sure if there is a way to aim the squinters, have not looked at the ones on My Monty Carlo recently. My van allows them to be aimed by placing a pin and in the hole and moving them.

I've had the slow wiper syndrome since I upgraded to the newer wiper motor. One day I decided to check the voltage going to the motor and it was less than the required + 12 volts, so I decided to add a relay inline. That seemed to help significantly, and even the washer pump works more efficiently.

As Mr, Kruger suggested. Try aiming the squirters using a pin or piece of thin welding wire.. They may be factory set, I don't recall. I'll have to look at mine.

As tkruger intimated, I think those washers are in a fixed mount holder on the cowl. At least that's how they were on my '84 Cutlass. Maybe you can loosen the washer mount and shim underneath to aim them down a little.
