Cleaning windshield fluid sprayers
Hey guys quick question. My sprayers clogged on my 98 Lexus gs300 , and I browsed through threads to find some info on how to remove/clean them. I found a thread that is 5 years old? and posted a reply but not sure if I'll get an answer, so I decided to make my own thread.
One guy talked about how all Lexus models are similar with the sprayers ( or their removement). He talked about how u slide a business card under it and push so it pops out. So my question is that if this is actually true and if the sprayer is connected to anything or it's just a pop-in (like a plastic clip or something). Oh and by the way I tried the needle and it broke inside so I have to remove both sprayers regardless.
Anyone has any info for me??

take any detail spray and saturate them from the outside. give it a minute to soak and then take a toothbrush or a small paintbrush and brush them out. try them out and repeat if necessary. done this several times with great results. it is a pop in there are small tabs on the front and back of them under the sheet metal

as tony said scrub them clean OR disconnect them and if you have some line and a air compressor blow them out or pop them out and soak them in a cleaning agent then blow them out with a aerosol can or something

Yea I didn't know I can bump the threads. This is a first time I join forums for extra help with my car. But thanks for the info. I might have to order new sprayers, because whoever had this car previosly b4 me did a bad paint job ( didn't tape the sprayers ), so they r clogged. Any suggestions on where to order? eBay perhaps? Or is there a solution that would dissolve the paint ?? Sakataj - by blowing them out u mean dissconecting them from the pump, and blow through the little hose?
