To clean blockages in the washer lines, I have had good success
squirting a fine stream of water into the nozzle. A water pik works
great, as does a syringe (no needle). By alternately squirting the
water into the nozzle, then briefly running the windshield washers,
the job can be completed in a few minutes. As others have said, use a
pin to rotate the washer nozzle to the right position.
