Gummed up Windshield Washers

bluelake · 04-10-2009, 04:40 PM

Three times in the past two years I've had to take my 328i to the dealer to correct a weird problem - my windshield washers start squirting less and less until they barely dribble a bit of fluid from the nozzles. The dealer techs take everything apart, clean some gummy junk out of the tank or the screen and put it back together. Now that my warranty is on its last year, I'm wondering if I'm the only one? I use good fluid. How do you mess up the design of a simple thing like the windshield washer system?
