my jets wont squirt water on my windscreen. ive tried adjusting it with a pin etc but nothing comes out, ive checked the water comes through the pipe by dismantling at the back and it squirts water out so im guessing its something to do with the jets on the bonnet. are they easy to replace and how do i do it?

I had a similar problem on my wifes brava, passenger side jets not working. I removed it from the bonnet and blew up through it with an air gun and got all the accumulated crud out. Might work in your situation.

tried blowing air up it but no good, have a replacement jet but how do i get the old ones out? i dont want to try prying the old ones incase i scratch the bonnet, tried pushing but they dont come out.

quite often they require being pushed in one direction against a plastic clip, then the other end lifts out. i can't say for sure on your car and it looks like no one has ever changed them. normally they can be cleared out. can you remove the soundproofing on the bonnet to see the other side of them ?

Try using a flat point screw driver to lever it from under the bonnet.
