Angry Windshield Washer Spray Nozzles

I know I have windshield washer fluid because I just checked it. And I can't figure out why it won't spray anymore. It was working fine until earlier when I got bird poop on my windshield and decided to use the damn things but found out they don't work. So I end up smearing bird crap across my windshield with my wipers. I checked the fluid levels, there's no leaks, the hoses are connected, there's no blockage in the actual nozzles. And when I pull on the switch, I hear it trying to spray but nothing comes out...what the hell is wrong with those things? Sorry if this was a rant but I'm highly annoyed.

mine clogged after waxing the car.....I thought I wiped them clean but instead wiped some wax into the spray nozzle and it dried on me. All I did was use a needle to clean them out and realigned the nozzles so they sprayed my windshield better!

Good Luck!

^Yeah, I've used that Rain-X orange stuff and won't go back! Not for the sludge issue, but it caused my almost new wiper blades to jitter or make odd noises while wiping. Back to the store brand blue stuff! LOL

I do! Matter of fact, it clogged up after filling up with that crap.

That's been happening to me too. Damn Rain-X

Thanks guys, it's very likely that it's my Rain-X washer fluid. I'm gonna clean out the nozzles tomorrow and see what happens.
