Make sure they are clean and free of any wax or such.

In the old days we adjusted with a small sewing needle. Never needed to adjust the Porsches. Not sure if it's even possible on a modern car.

That's what I used to do...

And true, I never had to adjust in the last I would say 15 years or so...

Now, you made me curious...if it's possible to do so .

Bumping this - 992 C2S Coupe with the glass sunroof. When I use the washer jets, I get some spray on the windshield, but a lot goes on the sunroof and even on the back windshield. Has anyone successfully adjusted them so they only hit the windshield? I don’t think clogging is an issue as it’s happening on both jets and the stream pressure is quite good.

Porsche Bellevue service said that adjusting the washer jets on the 992 is not possible since they’re fixed.

Seems odd that Porsche would omit that simple capability.

Personally, I use and have had great success with the 36" Harbor Freight Pittsburg Steel Pipe Wrench...in a pinch the 24" will do nicely.
