Windshield Spray Nozzle Cleaning
'95 Civic EX Coupe-de-Dong.
Presently only one (out of four) of the spray nozzles are working on me ride. On one of my past Civic's I tried using a sewing needle and cleaning out the nozzles but that just made things worse. Best way to clean nozzles? Possibly the pump is weak or needs cleaning?

Thanks Ezone. I have a spool of wire that's very close to tag-wire size.. will give it a go and report back.
