Todd orignally posted re his difficulties regarding putting bug washer assy's on the van, and Tony replied : >>even if you stick a needle in the jet opening to rotate it, it doesn't >>adjust? bummer. I had the same problem after making my conversion this weekend, but I was able to get the nozzles to cover the windshield fairly well (and fairly easily). Yes, of course they little metal "jets" can be adjusted, but alas, they are not designed to adjust far enough. You end up spraying into the housing and splattering washer fluid all over the place. Actually the passenger side seemed to work better - can't explain why. i got the driver's side to work OK by carving a bit of the plastic housing away with an exacto knife. Now it works, but I'm not confident that the metal jets will stay in place. That plastic is there for a reason, right Doktor? As Todd wrote, proceed with caution if you're considering this conversion. Doug Downingtown, PA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
