Hi all,
My washer jets are firing a bit high meaning a lot of the water just goes over the roof! I've had a look at hwo I might adjust them but it doesn't seem obvious. Anyone else had to do this?
 
It just goes to show, doesn't it, how many times the same question is asked.

Over n over again lol ;)

Drive faster - the increased airflow over the windscreen pushes them down the screen!

I know how to do but will add its a pig of a job and took me an hour to line up! Lol. My neighbour thought I was trying to hump the car - had to lean across the windscreen to get my hands in place to adjust. Nightmare
 
Mine have got worse so I had a look and it was pretty awkward! Couldn't get them to move. So I phoned up my local dealer who said they would adjust them for me. I asked how much and he said it would be covered under warranty.
 
The dealership adjusted mine free of charge whilst the car was in having some other work done, according to them there is a special tool. I wonder if they were referring to a grease monkey with a pin ;-)

Yes, it would be just easier to do it myself if it was possible than having to go down to the dealers on a Saturday morning, but for £20 I think I'll take that small hit and let them do it.
They can work out wtf the rattle coming from the back of the car is at the same time too! :)
