Wiper Fluid Nozzels

I've been having problems with my wiper fluid not squirting out and have traced my pressure problem to the little black wiper fluid nozzels on the hood. Does anybody know how to remove them and/or clean them out? What about their Nissan Part # and where to buy them cheap? I drive a '99 SE. Thanks!

Try using a sewing needle or straight pin to clean out the nozzle. I have some very thin diamond tipped drills that I use at home with my dremel tool to do it, but your there and I'm here unless you live in Charlotte.

They are easy to take out... Just remove the hose from under the hood and pop them right out. I dont think they are expensive to replace either. Those Window washer LED's are like 10 bucks so the plastic ones shouldnt be too much. If they are, just get the shiny window washer LED's. Just dont wire them up cause they are rice. I have them wired up and I never use them.

I ended up using a sowing needle and broke it off in the nozzel. I must have taken a stupid pill this morning! Dealership here in Birmingham wanted $40 bucks for the nozzels so I got the light up kind at Autozone for $10. Thanks for your help guys!

yeah, i think mine are clogged too, on the passenger side, they barely make it to the windshield, and on the drivers side, they nearly shoot onto the roof

My nozzels don't mist, they squirt in a straight line.

they dont mist lightly, it is still pressurized, go take a ride in a VW, they have nozzles that spray (mist) the whole windshield really well, even in wind.
