Really, now do we need a $20 tool to aim washer nozzles? I mean, how much trouble is trial and error?

Nice to see the diagram, though - but, I think someone posted it here before -

I'm sure any BMW shop with the tool would be happy to sell it to you. In twenty years I never saw anyone use it more than once.

does not get far enough into the pisser to move... maybe they are partially clogged? Safety pin would NOT go in any of them. Did not try a sewing needle, afraid of it busting off, will try with pliers tomorrow, good idea now that I think about it. That guy behind me on the freeway will be happier.

I bought a set of sewing needles and if you're careful you can adjust them with one . Just find the thickest one which will fit as far in as one will go. I have found how they come apart though and those little tips can be completely removed from the nozzle assembly to be cleaned and probably even polished with some metal polish.. I found one of the heating wires had busted off when I opened one. It just pops open from the side somewhere. I used a jewelers flat head or perhaps called an eyeglass screwdriver, real thin and like a cm wide just twisted it and it popped open. Two nozzles, a spring and a little rubber piece all come out so watch where you open it .

Sewing needle will not bust off. They will just bend. My nozzles were stuck, so I just took a sewing needle and wiggled them loose.

Took about 5 minutes to get everything right.

If you want to unclog them, use a wire, not a needle. The wire won't break. We used to use the wire from the BMW warranty tags. If you want to adjust them, a push-pin is all I've ever used. Works fine for me. I suppose if they're really stuck, anything that fits the hole would work, needle or whatever. A new nozzle is a wonderful thing, but very expensive last I looked.

Good luck.
