Default Windshield Washers Not Working

Hi Everyone,
I've had my S2k for about 2 months now and I haven't been able to get the windshield washers to work. I hear the pump working, but no fluid comes out. I have checked that the hose is attached. Any other thoughts or ideas?

Thanks!

Remove hose from nozzles and then see if you can get the fluid to flow.

Try removing the existing fluid and then try adding vinegar to decalcify things. Once it works, replace fluid.

May also try adding a drop of vinegar to the nozzles themselves to see if they are blocked. You can remove them and ultrasonically clean them.

Is it just me, or are the windshield wipers just about the worst thing about the S2k?

Nope. The worst are the sun visors.

I find that if I lower the top edge of the sunvisor so it it pointing at the bridge of my nose I can sometimes reduce the glare enough to peer ahead into the setting sun for a moment or two.
