Washer Nozzles

So I get in my car to come home from work today, and as usual there's a couple bug splats on the windshield from the morning commute. Fire up the windshield washers, and wouldn't you know it, two of the nozzles are working on the left and only one on the right, and the one on the right is shooting damn near my roof!

What's the meaning of this madness! How can I get them aimed back at the windshield and get all of them flowing!?

They're plugged most likely. Mine are constantly getting gunked up. It's still using the original fluid. I had the dealer clear them out once, but they clogged again. I just take a small "pipe" cleaner and clean em out. But at least once a month, they block up on me. Usually the middle one on both sides. Sometimes they clear themselves up.

That's odd, mine haven't blocked up in 18 months. Do you use regular water, or washer fluid? Think mine is just water.

Yeah, like everyone else above stated, the nozzles are probably just clogged. I stick a pin in them to unclog them. Also, with the pin, you can adjust each nozzle's aim.
