After a few years with the fluidic washer nozzles, I decided to switch back to stock. The fluidic nozzles aim a little too high, I’ve heard they work better with the angle of the hood on an NB than and NA. The mist spray of washer fluid means less lands directly on the windshield than with the standard dual-stream nozzles.
Removing the washer nozzles from the hood is a little fiddly, I’ve wondered if I could design a small 3D-printed tool to pop them out, like Flyin’ Miata did for the throttle cable. Patience and a screwdriver works well enough.
Mazda windshield washer nozzle: DB02-67-510
To partially unclip the nozzle, I was able to gently push backwards and pull up at the same time. Then using some paper to prevent it from clipping back into place, I depressed the back tab from the other side of the hood with a screwdriver.
