I also blasted the washer lines through with my compressor. All back together now & the jets now squirt half way up the screen instead of the first 6 inches. Conclusion: stop using cheap pre-mix washer fluid & get some Prestone concentrate. It works out cheaper & much more efficient at keeping everything clean. ( no I am not sponsored by them)
I converted to Prestone several years ago - after suffering from cheap washer fluid that went to jelly and clogged everything up. I also use diluted Prestone for all the house window cleaning - diluted 1:9 water. It also cleans the household mirrors without any streaks and leaves a positive shine to them. Better than any proprietary window cleaner I have tried.
