They come off because when it gets cold, the water in the tube ends freeze, then when you use them the pressure behind the ice pushes them off!!

I speak from experince after thinking someone was nicking mine untill i saw one go airborne whilst doing 70ish mph on the A12 last winter!!

Ive now bought 4 in total at a cost of over £140 (£33+vat after discount from Vxl)

Think ive found a solution in Trembond 380, a posh exterior industrial Gripfill

I am aware of the legal requirement to have the washers if your car is equipped with HID.

BUT – I hate them... the washers give a massive squirt of water all over the bonnet, which drains the washer bottle like there is no tomorrow and leaves your car looking like it's front end has been dipped into a very large cup of tea. So much so that I make a point of switching off the headlight before using the windscreen washers (scary stuff when driving on the motorway at night )

Ever thought about coating them in that wet paint that never dries.
Bit of a s*d for cleaning .
Just a THOUGHT!!!!!!

Cant you adjust the jets so that the water dont go so high over your hood??
