Washer fluid sprayer dribbles, not sprays

The driver's side windshield washer fluid sprayer works fine. However, the passenger side just dribbles out the hole.

Any ideas? stick a pin in the hole (carefully)?

I discovered it after driving down a wet, salted interstate. Bad time to find out it doesn't work. Not that I expect a Floridian to sympathize.

Try using a tooth pick. Most of the time this is caused by very small debris that gets caught and collects to the point where it gunks it up. And as far as spraying over your car onto the decklid...thats a little free flowing id check and make sure that you have some sort fo head left on that thing and not just hose.

Disconnect the washer fluid hose and blow air through it from the nozzle side. You want to blow the debris out the hose side or it may get really stuck in there..

That, and the crap you've washed off the windshield goes all over the rest of your car. Or on your leg if the windows are down.
