Default Windshield Washer Jets

Ok so I've been having this issue with my windshield sprayers..every time I use it only one little stream hits my windshield and the other 5 jets go catty wompus and decide they want to squirt at the people next to me and the cars behind me... its so annoying, not sure what the part number is or how to change them, I opened the hood but their only seems to be a tiny hole but I can't really see anything. Please if anyone has either done this or knows how to replace these let me know!! I'm really desperate now LOL! thanks all!! -Anthony

Maybe try cleaning out the holes with a little wire first?

I found q-tips soaked in CLR worked the best. You have to hold it there manually for about a minute and wipe with pushing motion. Also Sonicare soaked in CLR worked well. Another idea is put stop your service guy from putting tap water in there with all the minerals and whatnot.

Lol! Thanks guys unfortunately both options have failed I tried with a needle, CLR, even injecting the lquid in their via syringe, still nothing I'm stumped, also I've only used rain-x washer fluid and that's it :/ thanks for the inputs though guys! I'm just probably going to have to replace them if I can figure out how to...

You might just want to check out the reviews on amazon about the fluid you are using....

My recommendation is to use distilled water from CVS at about $1 per gallon.

This would not work if the temp can fall below 0C.
Mild soap and proper antifreeze is needed.
