Subject:Re: Can someone tell me how to remove the window washer jets?

I had a problem w/ the jets about a year ago - they would dribble sometimes,
work fine or not al all other times. At first I suspected the pump, but I
dropped the reservoir and disconnected the tube and the little guy squirted
away quite merrily. It turned out that the little tube from the pump to the
jets that comes up behind the headlights was getting pinched - I re-routed
it slightly with some twist-ties and all was well. It seems that the pulse
of water from the pump was moving the tube around - I don't know how it was
in there before but it must have come loose - and a quirk of fate caused it
to become constricted. I probably screwed something up the last time I
replaced a headlight bulb.

Just a thought on something else to check before removing the jets.
