Having had a replacement screen fitted over the weekend, noticed that the windscreen washers are spraying over the car and I'm pretty sure they weren't doing that before - mainly the passenger side.
Took a quick look this evening and I'm not sure how the fan jet nozzles are adjusted - there's a torx screw next to the nozzle and I'm wondering if that's to remove the whole unit rather than doing any adjusting.
Is it the same as traditional washer jets - stick a paperclip or similar into the nozzle and adjust as necessary?
Weird thing is that I don't see why they would have messed with the jets - they're on the bonnet and not part of anything that would be moved or removed when changing a windscreen.
Cheers

Re: Adjusting Windscreen Washer Jets
The fan jet unit clips in so I would just check its fully seated home in the bonnet lip.
The adjuster is next to the fan jet outlet.
The adjuster is a Torx 10.
As you look face onto the fan jet outlet and adjuster, clockwise moves the jet downwards, anti-clockwise moves it upwards.
