Windshield washer pressure too strong

I managed to correct the angle of the water nozzle. Essentially you use a small sewing needle as if you where cleaning the nozzle out if dirt was inside it, and gently push it down. Mine now sprays directly onto the middle of the wiper blade and not over the side of the car as before. The nozzle has a very small amount of movement as there is small rubber o ring behind the metal jet.

I'm going to try this.

I have looked and tried this soon after buying the car but found there was no movement, however slight.
Knowing my luck I'd end up breaking the needle or similar in the jet by trying too hard!

Just use the tip of the needle on the outside, dont put it right in as to avoid messing with the o ring, even possibly use the eyelet side of the needle. All your doing is pushing it down slightly. Remember if there is a small amount of movement it translates into a much bigger change in spray angle.
