Default Washer jets with long threads

I'm sure I can't be the first person to have this problem. I have the typical twin outlet chrome washer jets, and have drilled holes in the body, but the glass there is about 10mm thick and the threaded section on the jets is 10mm long (after removing rubber washer). I don't particularly want to back drill/dremel inside to reduce thickness of the glass.

I spent a while looking at a lot of pics on ebay and the only washer jets I can see with longer threads are some Land Rover ones but they're god awful ugly and the body that protrudes is really long also so they're out.

There are some options like fitting a nutsert to the body which I don't want to do because it requires quite a large hole, or just siliconing the jets in place which I also don't want to do as it's not exactly serviceable.

Most of the OE ones seem to be 'snap-in' and obviously designed for sheet metal panel thickness.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
