i wash window as normal but for rinse i brush top of glass across a couple of times quickly to create water cascade ,then follow with brush off glass down.
if water pressure is high enough you can rinse on ( brush dependant )

what pressure are you running at,i find the higher the pressure the better but you go thru the water faster
also they are better for hydrophobic glass than hydrophilic.
some cleaners have two sets of jets on the brush,one fan,one pencil and just swap in between glass panes to suit

you need to get the fan or pencil jets drill  a hole,just depends were you want to place them,you may need to remove some of the bristle on the brush to allow the water to flow on to the glass then connect tubing to the head of the jets and use a john guest 8 mm push fit connection
this link will give you some idea as to what it will look like this guys uses all the jets at once,which is great for massive panes of glass

is they're a danger the jets you have put in,i am assuming the ones nearest the stock,will stick out from the bristles too far and may catch the glass because the super lite brush is not very thick

go on youtube and type in "quad pencil jets for hydrophilic glass" gives a better idea
