I've been having trouble with my wiper fluid nozzles or something else in the fluid assembly freezing and becoming inoperable. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas? It's pretty dangerous because I'm usually driving on the freeway with a lot of spray hitting the windshield and clouding the view. Lexus Stealership had no ideas.

Forgot to mention....this happens typically below 20 degrees and I'm using -20 fluid.

Just saw the other thread....never mind, I'll follow that one.

You've likely still got some summer fluid in the lines, I'd spray a bunch through so you're sure it's nothing but winter fluid in the lines and at the nozzles, and see if that helps.

Exactly my thought

The Lexus dealer had no ideas??? Which dealer was is?

good idea to clear the lines. the fluid ur using probably already premixxed and adding to the reservoir brought the freezing level up.

It happened last year in ski season as well, so I took it into the dealership (I'm still under CPO warranty) and they went through the system, checked the lines, found no problems, and never suggested flushing and replacing the fluid with de-icing fluid.
