How do I change the Windshield Washer Sprayers?

Hi,

I have an 03SE and wanted to ask you guys how to change the Windshield Washer Sprayers. One of mine is clogged and I thought I might as well change both of them. Does it screw off on the top?

Thanks

It probably has two clips on the underside that must be squeezed to remove them. You might be able to unclog them with a very fine needle or something. I'm wondering what you put in your washer reservoir to make it clog up. I have never had one on a Max do that.

The only thing I can think of is wax build up but I did try to use a needle in front of the washer and it didn't help. Only one spray and not two.

I didn't want the dealer to change it for me because they will charge me with some ridiculous price. So I decided to change it with one that matches my car.

Thanks

You may want to check the end of the line that goes into the reservoir. I have that end to get clogged in other cars.

they are easy to remove just slide the hose off, and use plyers to squeez the sides. it should pop right out.

How about using your warranty?
