Have read lots of posts in here regarding those darn "Jets" that only hit the windscreen wipers no matter if your doing 80 km/h or parked...
Soon going to drive on summerholiday from Denmark til south of France so really wanted to fix this.
What you need...
Some kind of industrial superglue.
Knife or cutter.
Short piece of hose (I used a thin walled rubber hose from FESTO - got it from my job). The wall of the hose is maybe 1-2 mm.
Do it...
Undo the plasticplate where the jets are fixed. There are a single bolt in each side under the hood and then several easy to take apart plastic clips across. Just slightly lift and they will pop appart. The plastplate is split in 2 at the middle.
Undo the plastichose under the jets (USE SAFETY GOOGLES BECAUSE YOU MIGHT GET AT BACKSPLAH OF WINDSCREEN WIPER FLUID IN YOUR FACE).
Unclip the jets and cut away 2x2 hinges on under the plasticplates where the jets are mountet. Also cut about half of the legs on the jets away.
Cut a little tiny bit of the front corners of the jets away. Cut a little at a time until the front end of the jets can fit through the holes in the plasticplates. We want the front ends of the jets to be able to lean on the bottom through the holes in the plasticplates (see photo).
Cut a small piece of the rubberhose in half (see photo) and glue these to halves to each of top rear side of the jets (see photo).
When glue between rubberhose halves and jets are dry, then we want to glue everything in the correct new position under/through the plasticplates. Make sure the front end of the jets are slightly through the holes. The rubberhose halves will help create the bigger angle.
TADAAAAAA.... :slayer: Now your jets should mostly mist the right and left centre of your windscreen - when your doing around 80 km/h. Of course slight changes in angles changes the main hitpoint with some centimeters.
Hope pictures work?
