Default Windshield washers

The washers on my 2001 convertible barely hit the glass at all. I brought it into the dealer and expected to be told that I need a new pump. Surprisingly, they said the nozzles were to blame. They replaced the nozzles and the problem seems to be corrected for a while. Now they have reverted back to the same old behavior. Aay thoughts?

Thanks.

By barely hitting the glass, do you mean they are aimed the wrong way, or do you mean the water isn't spraying that hard?

Check to make sure the lines are not kinked or clogged. Do you use them often? I would make sure all the cheap little things are okay before I spend money on a pump.

There is almost no pressure at all. I do use them pretty often.

might be worth it to clean out the reservoir at least to see if anything is in there. the tips are probly plugged. u know them pins in new shirts with no use, use one of them and poke it in the tip just a little (try not to disfigure) to knock loose any really stuck stuff then unhook the hose and blow some air through it backwards. worked on my truck.

ps no pressure at the hose or at the tip?
