'02 windshield washer fluid pressure

How's your washer fluid pressure? My is pretty weak. It hardly gets to 1/3 of the windshield. Do I have to see a dealer to fix that?

Mine shoots up with plenty of power. Check to see if your line has a kink in it.

...are pinched or bent so much that fluid is stopped up. Trace the plumbing from the washer tank to your hood and look for kinks.

I have the same problem on my 01 Max. I took it to the dealer and was told the pressure is normal and there's nothing they can do about it. After I protested this explanation, they offered to adjust the washers so that they shoot further up on the windshield. Now it is only a problem at high speeds.
