How best to adjust windscreen washer jet spray angle!

Hi - what's the best way to adjust the angle the windscreen washer jets spurt out their liquid - should I stick a pin or something into the tiny holes?

Car's a BMW Mini Convertible.

Cheers!

stick a pin in and gently move th angle, fill your fluid up first and be ready for lots of repeat adjustments!!!

I agree with that and aim high, but not above the windscreen, as when on the move the airflow flattens the trajectory.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs

I've posted something in the first gen threads but, does anyone know if the washer jets can be changed to something else, a friend of mine has a VW Gold RTD and his jets spray rather than jet, which is much better and more efficient.

Any ideas?
