windshield wiper design is abysmal on defender.
wipers reportedly also start making noise at speeds over 90 mph.

 

Hehe. I think if I went 90 with the expedition rack, I would actually leave the ground.

 

I don't know about the 2020, but my 2021 washer spray is useless. It also sprays straight down. It might help wash the bottom 2" of the windshield. It's a great bug / mud smearing system. I was searching here hoping to find a solution. I have to stop a gas stations to wash the windshield when I don't even need gas.

Really bad system.

 

100% agree. The washer system is horrible. It does not distribute the spray over the entire windshield. The nozzles consist of small orbs with a tiny perforation where the fluid is ejected. In theory, one can use a small pick, I find that an opened and spread safety pin will fit the opening and you can ‘supposedly’ aim the spray where it should be the most beneficial. The key phrase is ‘in theory’ because I have performed this attempt at fixing the inadequacy numerous times with minimal improvement. Most vexing is that I can perform numerous maintenance and repairs on all my vehicles, including fluids, brakes, suspension, exhausts, etc, but this piddly little problem seems nearly unsolvable. I have redirected the spray up, down, left, right but in the end it still does not reach the majority of the glass surface. Chalk it up to a bad design. If anyone has found a fix, I’m all ears.
