Couple of birds with one stone.

1. I have noticed the last couple of days a really annoying rattle coming from the rear passenger side. On looking at the plastic part of the door post part which is dark grey and just below where the seat belt comes out (which has white plastic) it looks lower by a faction of a centimeter - Anyone else had anything similar??

2. The washer jsts in the mini, compared to other cars, are pretty crap. Are there any other jets that I could replace with? and if there are would these affect the heating aspect? - Any thoughts?

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

Thanks

Funny thing, I only here the rattle when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. The rest of the time, I can't here it as I have the radio blasting.

As for the washer nozzles, I agree they are rather boring.

I tried a pair of those chrome lighted ones. Cheap plastic. First the chrome started coming off one of them a week after install. After replaceing it I found that if you just snugged them up as the instructions suggested, they moved around when washing the hood. Tighten them down just enough to keep them from moving and they'd snap off after a couple weeks. Cheap junk!

If only someone madea nice set of Billet Aluminum washers to fit.
