Limp Windshield Washers

The windshield washer sprayers on my '09 G37x are like an old guy with an enlarged prostate taking a pi$$. They just dribble on the bottom of the windshield. Anyone else have anemic sprayers?

Do you hve any dirt or wax buildup in the sprayer nozzles? Poke them out with a pin.

Nice visual of the old fart in front of the toilet.

I'll check. They've been that way since day one - just don't use them that much.

Be careful when cleaning them out, they are very easy to move to a different position. They swivel to aim them where you want the 3 streams to go. It's easy to have them pointing over the hood or off the side of the windshield.

I'd like mine to actually spray more. They come out as little jets and don't spread well on the windshield.

I concur, they suck. Aim is not the problem, they have no power.
