I found a number of threads concerning clogged nozzles on this and other sites, so I assumed this might be common. I have never had this problem on any others cars I have owned and it seems silly to have to drill out the nozzle to get it working again. These nozzles can cost up to $120ea so I really didn't want buy another set and have this happen again. The fittings are so flimsy and all of mine leaked. This just looks like poor design to me.

When there are two related problems to fix, it often greatly complicates the trouble shooting process.
That happens at times, I have had it happen to me.

I think when every part is made so that it does the job with the minimal amount of the cheapest possible material and using the cheapest method of manufacturing you end up with a product like this. The engineer designs and the accountant has the last word, that is what has put us in this mess in many ways.
The engineer says lets make this part and the accountant says " I agree, let's make it in China".
