Default Need a Fix for faulty Windshield Spray Nozzles

I just purchased a 2008 and noticed a few days later that only one of the windshield cleaning sprayer nozzles works, and even on that one the pressure is pretty weak.

I imagine it could be one of a few different problems ( motor, loose or kinked hose, clogged nozzle). Rather than going through all the plausible issues, does anyone have any info to share? Is this a common issue with a common solution?

Thanks in advance!

Not a common issue, but I'd try pulling the hoses off the back of the nozzles and seeing what the pressure is like, if it's the same you're problem is a blocked nozzle, if one is weak then you've got a kinked line or blockage somewhere.

Update: Took the insulation cover off the bottom of the hood and magically they are both working fine now. Not sure if that was getting in the way of the line or if they just became unclogged with more tries.

On a side note, just about all the plastic tabs holding the cover in place broke off in the process. Anyone got a link to purchase that type?

If you want to upgrade the sprayers then you can use Honda Pilot sprayers 76810-SZA-A01ZA . Adjustable fan style.

Tacoma squirters work as well if you wanted to stay with a Toyota part...

I‘m tempted to get one of each so I can do a side by side to see which one is better.

Got a part # for the Taco nozzle?
