Doesn't sound too bad then, didn't want anyone to get a shock on the motorway

Oh and you maybe want to change your username

Google finds LOTS of posts from disappointed buyers who found that their new jets aimed too low, and can't be adjusted.

Who the fek designs a washer jet that can't be adjusted?

Yeah that got mentioned when I first bought the car

I'll try and get a video done of the pattern when driving @ town speeds and then @ higher speeds over the next week.

Yeah that's where I got mine from. I think it helps having good wipers. The jets don't set the world on fire but better than the water pistol effect previously lol

This is where I got mine from

I guess that in the past most jets were universal across a range whereas now a manufacturer will spec and design them for each and every car in their range. That way they don't need to be adjusted as they're a straight fit and use item..

Yes my wipers are quite poor however it's because of the mist pattern they get better coverage rather than the 'one sweep' and it's all gone effect with the water pistol jets lol

These are the ones I bought, they come with a little 'key' if you like, to adjust them. Not the the cheapest, but not extortionate either.

Had them a year now.
