My windscreen washers jets spray my roof!

Actually they emit a fine spray that seems to clean the screen just fine, but they also spray the roof and side windows!

Is this normal?

(I had a quick look and there doesn't seem to be any adjustment possible)

They all do that mate

Well mine does in any case and you are right there isn't any way to adjust them.

no adjustment on the front fan jets, only rear can be adjusted.

Hi there I had the same problem and checked the forum a while back to get the same answer - however just last night I had a closer look and you actually CAN adjust the jets:

Open the bonnet and go the the side put your finger up underneath the jet and you push lightly up to adjust the jet down - worked a treat on my Octavia!

Granted if you have fat fingers this is hard to do but it is possible and be careful not to knock out the water hose.

Hope this helps

Great stuff, i cant wait to try this tomorrow and knock the pipe off with my fat fingers

That would do my head in, if it wet the side windows every time! Glad there seems to be a fix/workround for you guys

Yes; it helped. Adjusted my driver side one slightly yesterday & the spray pattern is now much better.

Thanks

I couldnt get my fat finger in there so ill have to live with mine

Mine actually manage to hit the underside of the bonnet when spraying out.... and having the sunroof open is a definate no-no. I'll give the finger underneath trick a go tonight...

Hope you the misses didn't mind

Hope you don't mind me asking but is this right under the jet mounting where the huse goes in or the actual jet nozzle at the front??

Cheers

go faster, then wind speed will prevent water jets going high enough to hit the roof!!!!

It's under the mounting Alan

Thanks for that.

Will give it a try.
