I fixed mine by opening the flip-lid on the tank, disconnected the hose from the wiper nozzle and blowing (bring on jokes) into both the driver and pass side and that fixed the problem...Less then a minute total...I still think I have a leak somewhere which I'll address at a later time...

Btw, it might be time for a new prescription. Even if the base prescription has not changed, presbyopia can advance within that base prescription.

The flare can be greatly reduced with the right prescription.

You will know the right precription when you find that the halo around streetlamps is reduced to a minimum as soon as you put the glasses on. As an experiment, borrow a few pairs of glasses and look at some streetlamps.

Richard, get a pair of prescription glasses with polarized lens. I have a pair that also has a mirror coating which mainly are used for driving in bright sun. I love them.

I've used vinegar (white vinegar) as a cleaner. Also use quality washer fluid. Surely with regular use it shouldn't block up? What do other users use in the winter months? (Those that have the luxury of winter that is).

Ahh ... but some car owners are extremely "thrifty". And it seems the more expensive the car, the thriftier they get. They might look at the dish liquid and think they have a *brilliant* idea. Then to compound the problem they will only use the washer jets if they haven't been able to see for at least 2 miles.
