so how do I unclog a windshield wiper fluid nozzle? The driver's side is fine, but the other one is clogged completely. I must've gotten wax or something in it. I know you guys who live near dirt roads have some sort of "trick of the trade".

or maybe how much does it cost to buy a new wiper fluid sprayer/nozzle? and does the little plastic piece just pop out?

 

take it off and use a air compresser. blow from yhe back side at atleast 80psi. works every time

 

how do I take it off? just pull on the plastic part that is sticking up?

 

No, you need to pull up the cowl panel that they are attached to and release them from the underside. There are like two little tabs on them that you will need to press and then they will pop right out. DONT PULL ON THEM. You will break them.

 

I was hoping to avoid taking off the stupid plastic panel. thanks, dudes!

 

I used to unfold a paperclip, and grind the end down to a point. Then shove it in the hole(yea, I thought you'd like that), and then blow it out from the hose at the washer reservoir. You can avoid this problem by adding a capfull of rubbing alcohol to your reservoir every time you fill it.

 

just use a needle

 

You can try that as well as using a needle. Wont work every time. It can mess up the way the sprayer shoots fluid if you open up the hole too much. Worth a try though. As for the rubbing alcohol, what will that do besides keeping the nozzles from freezing?

 

It cleans the soap scum out of the system

 

rubbing alcohol won't fug up the rubber in the washer fluid system? are you SURE?
