Thank you for the 'how to'. It is now as good as new. Took the car to the local Lexus dealer, Mt. Kisco Lexus for alignment, tires and the hood prop keeper along with a request for new nozzle. Spent over $2,600.00 only to be fobbed off with " both the prop and nozzle are on global backorder".
This was the extent they were willing to go to rectify my two problems. This is the first of two Lexus' purchased from this dealer, but there won't be a third. A shame that the service manager is not subscribed to your forum.
Thanks again,
Ian.

 

LOL!

IMHO If you need the nozzle and prop... get the part number and order it of off ebay or call your nearest toyota dealer. You don't need to take Lexus Dealers Bull Crap for this stuff. plus you will be paying a lot.. If you have a lot of Green then my comment is invalidated already

 

I have an 07 ES 350 and I just switched out a bad windshield washer nozzle. I noticed that I had a very weak stream and it wasn't in a spray form but like a large water stream that barely made it over the windshield wipers. Turns out the inner portion of the nozzle came unglued or detached and I was left with a hollow opening that just poured out. On the right you see what is missing compared to the left. I purchased the new nozzle on Amazon about 25.00, but as you can see Dorman makes the product and I included the number. These can be ordered by your parts store and much easier with the number. This site has helped me so much I just wanted to reciprocate.
