Never done the replacement, but just use a bigger pin. Might have use a bigger sewing needle, clip the tip off, or get a fat sewing machine needle.  You are not getting a tight enough fit to move the nozzle.  Since they spray, they should be moveable with the right pin.

Hi Stuart and all,

        I moved a pin in the opening this past summer and tried to adjust the spray.  Also had others try to adjust.  In the front they com out at different heights. Driver’s side wants to shoot over the window and passenger side can’t get high enough.  Rear one also only comes up to the bottom of the rear window.  I was thinking about replacing one at a time to see if I can get a reasonable spray.  the double one sounds like a possible upgrade. 

I wonder if before replacing I could take them off and try to air blow them cleaner? 
 But, anyone want to give me a description of how to carefully get it off?
