Default Clogged washer fluid

Because the washer fluid seems to clog in the tank or the lines I was thinking that vinegar would be a good solvent to use, it’s none corrosive but I was wondering what it might do to the rubber seal around the windshield.

Do not use vinegar I added it to my wives Maxima's reservoir and it destroyed the rubber lines. I'm pretty sure it will eat thru any rubber unless heavily diluted

you have to take a sewing needle or some other similar object and stab the nozzles. I have the same issues, my nozzle always clog on the pass. side. maybe hook up an air compressor to the line and blow it out.
