Wiper arms blocking windshield fluid nozzle

The wiper arms on the driver side seems to be in the path of the nozzle and thus blocks some of the windshield fluid. I have stock wiper blades and was wondering if this is normal on the vert?

they should be spraying at the same time the wipers are moving, so it shouldn't matter.

I personally don't use this, its pretty messy and gets all over the car.

this is not normal, I don't have this issue, push your driver side wiper down or have dealer check it out...

The wiper is all the way down. The arm doesn't seem to be bent or anything so I don't understand why its blocking the nozzle. I might visit the dealer next week to see whats going on (hate driving there). Thanks for the reply.

Is it spraying the bottom of the windshield?

Doesnt seem right. Pop the hood and make sure the nozzle is clipped in all the way.

If it is, you can also adjust where the fluid shoots by sticking a pin into the nozzle hole and adjusting it.

Well it isn't spraying the bottom of the windshield, its spraying the same height as the one on the passenger side. It seems that the driver side wiper arm ( the metal piece) is SLIGHTLY higher than the arm on the passenger side, so it blocks some of the windshield fluid. Maybe I'm just being paranoid since it's my first vert and only a month old. I will try adjusting the nozzle tmr to see if it helps, thanks for the suggestion.
