Winshield Washer Pump Smarter Than Me

I was so convinced that my windshield washer was broken, that I started researching how to diagnose it and swap it out. Then I realized that I was trying to use it with the top down. (my top is almost always down) I finally had the top up this weekend, and it worked. I guess the car won't squirt it with the top down, eh?

Same here, tried it once and realized it sprays the interior and passengers, and haven't touched it since. Kinda useless on a convertible.
