There is a special tool ...

The driver's side windshield spray is misdirected. I can't see how to adjust it. Any thoughts? Is there a magic tool?

When locking the car, isn't there supposed to be a beep or flashing lights after you hit the lock button on the key fob? I'm pretty sure that I recall this happening with my '99 and with my '08, but if it did this, then it has stopped. I looked but didn't find anything in the manual. I either listen closely to hear the locks click, or if I forget to listen, then check the door handle. But, isn't the car supposed to "tell" me it is locked?

... To redirect the nozzles: a pin.
Just slide the tip of the pin in the orifice and use the pin as leverage and as a pointer of where the spray will go.
The central locking system should flash the lights once the system has locked.
If it beaps it means that something was left open.
I am certain that that's how the 986s work.
Not 100 percent sure on the 987s. I'd have to check.

On my 987 (2006) the signal lights flash twice when the car is locked. It beeps once if something is not properly locked.

If the hole gets enlarged and/or scored the stream might get weaker or splayed.

Weak stream? Try Flomax. Beware of side effects...

Check Page 29 in your Owner's Manual. It states that if you lock the door by pushing the lock button on the remote once, you will see the emergency flashers flash twice. If the car is equipped with an alarm system and you push the lock button twice, the emergency flashers will illuminate for two seconds and you will hear a short alarm-horn signal.

Note: If you (at least on MY2008) push the lock button twice, you defeat the interior alarm system and only lock the doors. It is designed so you can lock the car with someone (or a pet) left inside without having them set off the alarm.
