hey... is there anyway to clean my windshield washers ?... the driver's side works just fine... but the passengers... one of the two nozzles doesnt work... and the other one shoots way to high... its high enough to go on to the top of my car... what the heck... and the back... it doesnt even spray... it just leaks out of my nozzles... anyone have suggestions ?... or even those LED ones... but what about the back one ?... do they make one for those ?

Use some CLR cleaner, its just gummed up, or maybe try using a neddle?

I used a needle on mine.Also, CLR or windex run through them can clean it out fairly well.

The nozzles are adjustable. They are a ***** to align correctly. I used a tiny piece of music wire to clean/aligh mine. Put the wire in the nozzle a move it around a bit. If you push the wire sideways the nozzle will move that way. It's just tough to get the rotation correct .

The ricer style led ones are also "high pressure". It would be kinda cool if someone made high pressure ones without led's on them. I just want some good water flow!

Not sure if you have them in the states, but peugeot 406 washer jets are a good upgrade.

i used a pin on mine, and then blew on the end of washer fluid hose and some thick sludge stuff came out of the nozzles all over my windshield. come to think of it, antifreeze tastes much better than windshield washer crap.

replace your washer pump with TWO Walbro Fuel PUMPS!!! 85 bucks on ebay baby. May require some modification.
