Re: Thanks, Laz & JM. Haven't addressed yet but believe replacing nozzle housing is the way to go. *NM*

Right side working fine but driver's side a mere drizzle. Can these be cleaned & if so, how? I don't see a pinhole like the old ones . . .

but looking at the autoatlanta parts diagram, it looks like the nozzle housing can be removed easily enough.

I would take it out and soak it in an appropriate solvent overnight then flush with air and water.

If that did not work, order a new one. Not worth messing with it more than that.

just bought a pair for my BMW - like $15.00 total.

The Porsche tax might make it more, but....

Expensive for a little piece of plastic, but easy replacement.

& then soak the old one in vinegar hoping to dissolve whatever is blocking it now. If that works, I will keep the old one & use it when the other side goes bad.

I believe the cause was leaving the car sit out for 3 weeks in the hot sun while clearing a place in the garage for ol' Wolfi. We have just moved into new digs & took that long to unpack boxes of tools & other garage stuff.

Really appreciate your advice, JM. Thank you, sir!

If you're getting lime buildup in your washer nozzles, try using distilled water instead of tap water to fill / mix your washer fluid.

the solutions' producers use only tap water @ best.
