It could be a problem with the deflector for the sunroof?Is the s/roof sitting 'proud'?

First solution --> do not exceed 110mph. It's forbidden anyway.
Second solution --> do not use the washer jets. It'll only make your car more filthy.

Problem solved.

I had the second problem ! sorted it now

dead easy to do.. locate the correct pipe for the rear washer on the washer bottle, cut the pipe and put a one way valve in there, this does not let water trickle through, it needs pressure to operate, this meaning it no longer dribbles
