I drive a 2004 Chevy Astro Van for work, and it has the nozzels on the arms. Just figured I throw that in.

Just ran across this item...
http://busschmiede.de/shop/T3-Zweistrahlige-Scheibenwaschduesen-fuer-T3-LT
When I get my new garage (we're remodeling) in May, I'll take one for the team (TOFTT) and order a pair.

Hi Craig,
I think they are the same sold here too
http://syncro-services.com/index_modi_eng.html
I ordered them a while ago, they are on their way here, I'll have them this or next week. I will PM with pics.
I never installed the 3-way ones I got, too big, when I saw the ones above I decided to go for those...

sitting in my garage waiting for a 15 minute opening in my schedule 
I have a To Do list for the van and these little things are at the bottom, next local get together I will bring them over and will get them installed in front of you

I thought those were not high enough.
Those are a modern version of what a 356C Porsche had (no silver anodized cap.)
Do those work well on both early and late Vanagons which have different squinter positions?
Inquiring minds....

what does "not high enough" mean?
that they don't send a squirt far enough?

The other ones sit further away or higher up from the cowl which seems to allow them to squirt and not hit the wiper system.
In other words do these SWF Porsche squirters allow the spray pattern to be effective.
I hope I am making sense.....

| The squirter needs to be tall enough to spray over the windshield seal and onto the windshield. The lower profile ones hit the seal and if you adjust it up it squirts over the windshield to the roof. |

Are you stating these little SWF ones from a few posts up will not work then?

I have no experience with those.
I do know that is the reason the gen 2 smart squirters won't work though.

Can we figure out what vehicle, those are off did you note any markings number on those, its such hassle to order from europia
They do seem to be taller so much easier to adjust the spray patten
