Long shot, but I need some help with part numbers and problem diagnosis. ‘14 Forester 2.5i, windshield washers not working. I think the nozzles are just clogged. Main thing is I need a part number for the stupid plastic clips I broke to get into the cowl after dropping the fluid hose down into it. Top photo shows 3 clips removed bottom is a clip sitting on my headlight. Also could use a part number for the nozzles. They are caked in a blue gunk and there are chunks of blue sludge at the bottom of the windshield. I think the fluid went bad and the dye separated out maybe? I popped the nozzles off and it sprays at the ends of the tubing as shown in the video. Seems fine, but I don’t know how strong this spray should be without the nozzles. Rear windshield spray is working fine. I can’t blow any air through the nozzles even after soaking them. They seem totally stopped up. Also, is there a filter on the reservoir or pump? I probably need to clean or replace that too, but I didn’t feel liking pulling off the front clip to see tonight. Thanks!

You should be able to go to Napa and get new washer nozzles. The spray from the pump looks good, so it’s probably just the nozzles which is common when the wrong detergent (or too much) is used.
If there is a filter it’s a small screen at the pump on the reservoir. But, I doubt there’s a problem because the stream looks good.
Once you get it fixed I would only use P21S or Sonax windshield booster. I use both and they’re AMAZING! They clean the windshield better than manual cleaning with Sonax or Stoner cleaner.

As far as those stupid clips go, I’ve broken my fair share of them and the cowl will still stay down even without them. Use zip ties if you’re concerned. i doubt there’s a filter but even if there is, your spray looks good enough that cleaning it shouldn’t be a concern.

Yeah it’s still pretty well shut but I just want to make sure it stays that way. Zip ties are a great idea for that lip so I’ll thro a few on there. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I had no idea that this was a common issue or that these boosters existed.
