Any Windshield Wiper Jet MODS?
This is totally unimportant, but...
I was wondering if anyone has made any modifications to the wiper jets on their 8.
My wife's car is a Jetta (dont hit me ), and I have to say that their jets are pretty impressive, offering a superior spray coverage. You totally notice the difference in the winter when you're constantly trying to clean your windshield.
The 8's jets seem to be less of a spray and more of a water gun.
So, I was wondering if anyone MOD-ed their jets to offer more coverage of the wind shield?
Thanks for any HELPFUL response, not just bashing my simple question; like: "I keep my car clean, so I wouldn't know.." or "I just concentrate on driving..."
Thanks again.

Thanks CyberPitz.
I didn't know if i could get a different set of jets...or what...maybe use the same ones from the Jetta i mentioned. Very Curious about this....

I suppose you could replace the entire sprayer bit with one from a jetta if you like their pattern more.
You can stick a pin into the nozzle of the sprayers and adjust them to spray where you want (including right over your roof and onto the car behind you). It's a pain in the *** to get them just right though.

i actually had to order new ones because my driver side sprayer cracked. Water got in it somehow and froze. split it wide open. Anyway, so i ordered two new nozzles and was able to replace the driver side without any problem. the passenger side nozzle though is a PITA. I can't pull it far enough out of the hole to disconnect it from the hose. There's no slack it seems and i don't want to just keep pulling, hoping it comes from as if it's snagged. my luck is that there simply is no slack and i either snap the hose or break it entirely.
So if anyone has replaced the passenger side nozzle, lemme know what you did to work it free.
