I know the common fixes of using pins/toothpick/compressed air etc to clean out the nozzles for the washer fluid, and none of them seemed to work for my WD21. I tried various used nissan ones from the pick-a-part and they were no better- so i looked for an aftermarket alternative, since i didnt want any ricey led nozzle sprayers i was stumped.

 

i simply could not find a good alternative.....until i found a neon forum where the guys were swearing by the nozzles from ford escorts/focus' to solve their similar problem.

 

so if you want a super cheap fix they are great, fit nearly perfect (i pressed them in , but if you were an absolute perfectionist some filing the plastic and your there) and best of all they have a nice fan mist rather than directed stream. the ones i snagged were on a 1998 ish escort.

 

its a pet peeve of mine and have never had such an issue with any other vehicle that wasnt fixed with an adjustment or usual de-clogging method, so i thought i would throw it out there for fellow nissan enthusiasts since the season of dirty roads is coming quick.

Thats funny, as I find the ones on my friends 2000 neon to be pretty sweet. Each nozzle shoots out 3 streams. But my pathy ones seem to work good. Better than the r50 ones, on the highway, the stream gets sprayed to either side hahah

another fun thing to do is turn your nozzles to the sides and have the reservoir full of water (not washer fluid) and if they have their window down and are being annoying or you just want to give your friends riding with you a good laugh or whatever the reason is you can just spray them down...

 

My buddy did that on his truck all the time and usually would get people in the parking lot at school...good times

Funny thing is, mine are aimed like that for crabby people who work at drive-thrus. Man I hate that, be happy you even have a job in todays world. Anyway back to the subject, if I didn't like being mean with mine I think its a nice idea, wife wouldn't be too happy missing them off her car though.....
