Rob

To clean blockages in the washer lines, I have had good success squirting a fine stream of water into the nozzle. A water pik works great, as does a syringe (no needle). By alternately squirting the water into the nozzle, then briefly running the windshield washers, the job can be completed in a few minutes. As others have said, use a pin to rotate the washer nozzle to the right position.
