I second this.   Maybe looking at other makes of vans to find one with an
appropriate angle?
BTW - I seem to recall that the nozzles are only accessible when the
dashboard has
been removed, so this would be  a great thing to do when the time comes to
replace the heater
blower motor (as I will probably have to do soon - heard the dreaded fan
squeal on low speed recently.
Another thing to consider would be a heated nozzle (any diea where to get
one?).   I've had mine freeze
up numerous times when I forgot to add the extra alcohol to the washer
fluid.   I think maybe the alcohol
evaporates from the nozzle after a while.
