    The Ford ones also don't spray very high at 100+ highway speeds, but still do the job. They are def not any worse than the original ones at those speeds, and sooooo much better the rest of the time that it is still worth it to switch them. Since our weather has changed in the last two months or so, I am thrilled every time I have had to use them compared to the old ones...

    Just seeing this now. Great write-up!

    It's nice to see people still modding where it counts.

    Anyone know of, or can point me to, a similar solution for Gen 2? I HATE the stock squirter. I did similar as the Gen1 mod in a previous vehicle but Gen2 are mounted in cowl not hood and I haven't torn it apart.

    Awesome mod. Just got the parts from Ford on Kennedy and 407. They had them for $9.22 a piece. Everything took less than 10 minutes to swap.

    isn't the gen 2 already a fan squirter? i was using my wifes this morning to move her car out of the driveway and it fanned... not as wide as the fusion but it was better than Gen 1 nozzles

    also i did this over the weekend. $8 each on ebay. Great mod

    i hit "thank" to the OP twice, great write up + the video to demonstrate.

    As for the rear, how about Fiesta or Focus Hatch?
    i have never seen how they spray, but was just thinking inside Ford.

    I haven't looked into upgrading the rear sprayer, but I should. The stock one sucks...

    I picked up the part from ford but the hose barb is pointing in the same direction as the spray nozzle. Was told there was no revision to the part? Am I missing something here?

    Update: white oak ford and Dixie ford both have the wrong part for that part number! Meadowvale ford has the right part.

    Wow this is a great write up...I think I may do this. A simple cheap mod, that is definitely worth it. Although not going to lie I was pretty excited when I found out my car sprayed 4 streams when I first got it...way better than 2 streams. But a fan is definitely better.

    Thumbs up Re: How-to: Upgrade 2004-2009 Mazda 3 windshield washer nozzles to wide fan spray noz

    Just did this a couple weeks ago.
    I was able to go online and order the part from Ford, and someone called me from a local dealer and said they had the nozzles in stock, and i was able to go pick them up that day. These nozzles are WAY better than the OEM ones.

    Thanks very much for the writeup and pictures! It was a very simple mod.
