Question to potentially Ford owners, but please do shout!

I have a Mk2 S-Max, and the spray jets clip into the plastic scuttle panel underneath the bonnet, just below the wipers, and they are the wide spray non adjustable style. Someone did not tell the guys at Ford that engines push out heat, so the scuttle panel has now warped slightly, and the spray cleans the roof very nicely.

I used to be able to drive fast enough to blow the water onto the windscreen, however that speed has now increased and I don't fancy a drive to a track just to get enough speed. The sprays are not adjustable, and any adjustable ones I know of clip onto the metal bonnet, so the clips are too narrow for a plastic panel.

Does anyone know of a car that has adjustable heated washer jets that fit into a plastic scuttle panel?

Thanks!

Any chance you could turn the tide with some action from a heat gun to bend the scuttle back?
Pretty much and fan nozzle could be made to fit with a dremel and a bit of araldite.
