Default Low pressure windshield squirters?

I noticed that my windshield squirters have lost pressure. When I turn them on, they goon full blast the first second and then start dripping out barely. So I have to push the rod that turns them on , up and down so I can shoot at full blast. Anybody know of a solution to repair this?

and if you have already tried Coral's fix, then try cleaning the nozzles with a needle...sometimes you can have some was or other obstructors there that prevent the full splash...

jamming stuff in more usually does more harms than good.

here now i do mine when it's jammed, use a air gun and blow it out, sometime it works sometime it doesn't.

if that doesn't work, try use a throttle body cleaner, give it a drop or two into the inlet, just make sure that stuff doesn't touch the paint.

the stuff should desolves wax and tar, etc

I used a compressor to blow the nozzles clean from the inside, underneath the hood, after disconnecting them from their respective hoses. Frequently using drive-thru car washes which spray clear coat protectant following the wash will eventually clog the windshield washer nozzles with wax.
