I was driving to work through the salty freeways of Detroit this morning when my windshield fluid went from a stream to a pathetic dribble that doesn't reach my windscreen. I filled the fluid just last week. However, I don't see any evidence of freezing around the washer nozzles. Any help on what may be up here???

Take a pin and stick it in the thingys that shoot the fluid.
Probably clogged up.

2minis, you speak my kind of language: "Thingys." Love it!

Maybe it is empty again!
Round here with the cruddy winter roads, and the tiny water tank, I am filling it more than weeky ...

Me too! I fill mine a few times a week. Of coarse, it only holds about 1.3 of a bottle!!

I guess it's possible the fluid's out. Maybe I just filled the headlamp washer reservoir and forgot to refill the actual wiper reservoir.
