How to Clean Windshield Wiper Fluid Lines
The windshield wiper fluid lines in your vehicle deliver cleaning fluid to the windshield. When these lines become dirty or clogged, then it will be difficult for you to operate the wiper sprayers effectively. The lines themselves are made of a soft rubber tubing. Since the washer fluid lines are under low pressure, a simple hose clamp or, in some cases, no clamp at all is all that is needed to hold them in place. Instead of replacing the hose, you can simply clean them when they become dirty.
