Anyone ever moved their washer jets

[Swervin_Mervin]

Specifically their rear washer jets on the valvers? Seems like dumb place to put them IMO, so was thinking about moving it and housing it in the spoiler and then smoothing the tailgate where it used to live.

Cant imagine its that difficult. Whats the best way of smoothing off holes in bodywork?

Take it thats a no then?

Sound like a good idea, or am I setting myself up for trouble here?

probably more hassle than its worth seeing as youve got no replys.

what valver you got then, as mines behind the window wiper !

one squirts up and another to the right hand side.

 

[JAY172]

werent they in the spoiler already on later versions.

 

[cat171]

mines an M reg and they arent in the spoiler !!

 

[JAY172]

arent they in the boot lid but there is a cut out for them in the spoiler.i can remeber customers moaning about them dribbling water down the rear window all the time.

Aerodynamics would dictate that squirting from the base of the screen at any reasonable speeds would just result in no spray on the screen.

Had a car before with the jet at the bottom and it was crap. Thought it would look tidier as well. All youd need to do at the top is cut a small hole in the spoiler for the jet and then drill a hole in the tailgate for the pipe.

I moved them to aim at pedestrians once, long ago. Was a hot day so im sure they loved it.

Speaking from experience dont ever do that to some dodgy looking blokes that are tailgating you in an M3 convertible.

They really dont like it.

lol, agree, they are in a ridiculous place!

spraying the underside of the washer wiper......just crap.

And they do dribble like my housemate when sleeping! lol

there are definatly some where the jet is above the rear screen and sprays down.
