Default Help Warrior hood mount hi lift

I just installed the Warrior hood mount kit for the hi lift jack. The problem I am having is that the windshield wash is spraying all over the jack, not getting to the windshield, and running all down the hood of my jeep.WTF. Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions to fix it? Am I doing something wrong? I CAN NOT IMAGINE A COMPANY LIKE WARRIOR WOULD PUT THIS PRODUCT OU WITH THIS ISSUE!!!!!

I've seen this with a couple of hood mounts that's why I decided to make my own. That said, can you turn the jack so the handle is closer to the windshield or vise versa or will it then hit your cowl?

That sucks but as stated in my last post. That's why I made my own. I'd be calling Warrior and asking them WTF?

The Tough Stuff hood mount does not have this problem. I've used it with the Hi-Lift, then with shovel/axe combo (after installing rear bumper that now holds the Hi-Lift). Tough Stuff does provide instructions and a couple washers to shim the mount should it interfere, but I did not find them necessary in my install. Here are my write-up and a few pic's ...
