Avant help - poor washer fluid squirt on rear window
The rear washer has a really crappy squirt on the rear windshield. Anyone experience/fix this?
Thanks in advance.

A comment....
Here are a few things you might try:
1. Check squirter itself:
-take a piece of wire, remove plastic shelding/coating and use a piece of the copper(one strand) to clean out the jets/squirter.
2. Check for leaks
3. Make sure their is lots of fluid in the tanks.
The fluid has a tendency to crystalize which can clog up the lines and squirters. Usually, the latter.

This worked for me recently:
1) Take off the plastic cap off the squirter nozzel.
2)Take a thumb tack and jam it in the squirter hole and move it around a bit.
3) Re-aim squirter to you liking with said thumbtack.
4) Replace plastic cap.

Well,
I removed the motor, nozzle assembly and soaked the end of it in some hot water for a while. Then I recirculated some water through it with some small diameter hose i had kicking around and HOLY CRAP that sucker was clogged.
After I hooked it back up the stream hit the hood!!!
Thanks for the suggestions.
