Windshield Washer Nozzles

Rxmxsh · 10-19-2009, 04:30 PM

I have had these replaced once already, but I'm am now back to 2 single strems that barely hit my windshield. I just surpassed 36k and am without warranty at the moment.

Where can I get new ones? Only at the dealership? Are they hard to replace? Is it worth trying to salvage the ones that are there now? What would I do?

I would assume this happens to a lot of Pri owners. Any help is appreciated.

You can change the alignment with a straight pin. You can also clean the nozzles with a pin. I've never had to replace nozzles on any car I've owned. I just have to clean them once in a while. BTW, if you wax your car, keep wax away from the nozzles as that is usually what clogs them.

Yeah, I have to admit that my first thought was of this thread I started: The Windshield Sprayers are AIMABLE!!

Thanks, I'll try a pin. I knew they were aimable, but I used a key last time (before the new ones). A pin should be better.... or a needle?
