MK4 golf washer jets   
My washer jets do hit the window when sprayed, but quite a bit shoots 
onto the rood and sunroof area which shamefully has got me unaware a few 
times :)

Is there a way to shorten the spray pattern and aim it more directly 
onto the screen ?

Thanks

Most jets are adjustable.  Place a very thin wire in the jet and in yr 
case lower it.
U can adjust it up, down, right or left.
DO NOT use a needle as it will probably break and then u will have to 
replace the jet.

IIRC you need a special tool for Golf IV fanjects, but I've never tried it.

As they are fan jets....Do not stick a wire in them, it buggers them right 
up. There is no way to direct them from side to side.  This is due to there 
design, they cover a large amount of the screen. You can direct them up or 
down by moving the bar on the front of the jet just below were the fluid 
comes out.

Hope this helps
