Help...windshield wiper water fluid sprayer thing


hello all...my windshield wiper wayer sprayer thing(those things that spray out the fluid to the windshield) is somehow clogged. Does anyone know a quick fix? When I try to use the sprayer, only ONE jet sprays, not TWO. Any suggestions appreciated!

I haven't checked my MINI for how its set up, but from my experience with old cars, I would check that both the hoses are connected.

Very technical solution.....

Take a PIN and poke at the wax residue that is blocking the nozzles....

Haven't had to use it on my MINI, but have done the pin thing on many cars. Almost always works. Good luck!

It's the wax they spray between panels, should fix itself on a really hot day or if you had the heated jets turn those on should melt the wax, or just use a blow drier.
