Hi Volks, I have used a vinegar/water solution to clean my windsheild washer ports. The deposits which are constricting the openings are calcium carbonates which precipitate over time when minute amounts of washer fluid evaporates at the opening. Over time these deposits clog the opening. Vinegar is a weak acid and will dissolve the calcium carbonate. I would start with slightly diluted vinegar. I've used this solution plus a small wire or pin to help scrap the precipitate from around the opening. It will also help to remove deposits in the lines. Its like cleaning your coffee maker. Hope this helps, Ken Wyatt 82 westy
