looking good, my jets are fine, i just feel that the way its sprayed on to the screen the liquid is spread out more evenly.

Any chance of a pic of the bonnet to see what they fit like.

this yaris sprayer jet is a worthwhile mod, cant see bu88er all on the motorway at times...ill stick it on my 2do list :)


You need to buy the retrofit version, they'll fit the normal hook wiper arms.


where's the best place to buy them?

You could try ebay to see if you can get them cheaper, can't access it from work so can't check

ok i tried an extra bit of rubber to raise it more but the jets completly overshot the window so it looks like using half of the original rubber is plenty ontop of the yaris rubber :)

here is a side view video

and this video shows you how much of the window gets covered :)

this picture shows the jets after i cut them to free the clips as they come sealed from toyota

this pic shows the yaris jets fitted using one extra bit of rubber at the front too lift them

as you can see you cant tell there is an axtra bit of rubber there at all :D

That looks brilliant!! Almost too much water for the wipers to deal with. Should make short work of road grime and bird poop on there thats for sure!!

Now you know what we need now dont you....

A full bonnet shot to show the size of the jets, and also to see how the jets perform at speed. Would be a shame if the air speed pushes the spray down to much. #-o

Kudos so far though chap!! :clap:
