Clogged Winshield washer nozzles
The nossles are clogged on my 2002 LS430 UL.
Each nozzle has 3 holes.
On the drivers side only 1 out of 3 work
On the passenger side only 2 out of 3 work.
What should I use to clean out the nozzles?
Name of the chemical?
and also, how do i clean them out?
Do I use the chemical on the tips of the nozzles or put the chemical in the resivor tank.
Thanks.

I heard needles work well if you have a diabetic in the house. Problem with mine is that it comes out in a powerful straight jet instead of a mist like one of the holes.
How do I get it to mist instead of jet all that water?
better yet, how do I take off that peice and buy a new one?

I don't know if this would work for your LS, but give it a shot and see what happens

The nozzles are held on by a couple small plastic clips, so I used a business card to wedge on both sides of the nozzles and removed them. All in all, the mod took only 15 min. Although a subtle mod, the new nozzles are more effective than the ones that came with my car.
