Windscreen Washers - Jets Move

Tried a search but couldn't find anything that helped.

I'm fed up with the frequency with which I have to re-adjust the nozzles on my screen wash jets. (pin in hole, gamble on how much you move it!!! blah blah yada yada etc)

Any tips on how to keep them in a constant position???

I'm tempted to resort to superglue!!!!

Mine haven't moved in 2 1/2 years, I'd be tempted to mention it at your next service.

when i wanted to moved them, i had to search for the strongest pin i could find and then used a pair of pliers to shift the nozzle, never moved after the readjustment either Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Do they actually move or do they get partly blocked? Have had problems with mine blocking up from time to time and resorted to the pin and adjust (just like the old Mini 1000 I had many many years ago).
It went in to stealers with one part blocked but (even though I didn't mention it) it was fixed and since then they've all been fine (but only 2 weeks since service).
Never had a problem with the Kia Sportage's washer jets, though! Rolling with laughter

On the passenger side both the jets are really difficult to move even with a pin, but on the drivers side one of the jets is really easy....so easy in fact that when I wash the car I have to take care that the sponge does not go near the jet as I thought that was the reason for me needing to regularly adjust them down from spraying the sunroof.....since doing this, no problems so far Thumbs Up

Thanks for the info.

Will mention it next time I'm at the dealers.

My jets def move too much. Seems like I have to adjust them every 2 or 3 weeks.

Must be vibration? Roads in Sussex are in bad condition.
