Possibly blocked with dirt! Try poking at them with a needle to clear any dirt. If that doesn't do it, remove carefully and blow into them with airline

Lucky they are blocked, jet can get bunged up..air line is the best way to clean it out

Buy some Volvo S40 ones. They are on eBay for around £10 and are a direct fit.

Do a much better job too as they spray a mist over the whole screen rather than just 2 jets

i know how to fix this, you'll need an air compressor and a blower, remove the jets and blow the back of them to get any blockage out, if you haven't got access to a compressor try sticking it in your mouth and blow really hard lol

Lol... Had to laugh at the idea of bowing it though yourself if no compressor
