Default rear window sprayer plugged up

My rear hatch sprayer (the nub on the roof - G3 hatch) is plugged up. It dribbles instead of spraying. How do I go about unclogging it?

Thanks,
Rainmaker

Try taking a sewing needle and stick it into the hole to clear it out.

Blech. Tough problem. First thing I'd do if it were mine is clean the nozzle with an old toothbrush. If that fails, then you know it's in further in the system Ilike buried up in the line somewhere). At that point I don't know what to tell you.

Same Problem here.... If i can't fix it with those suggestions i'm going to either shave it or shave my antenna and put one of those short black euro style antenna's in it's place (a functional one, not just a cosmetic one).

Does anyone know how to get the sprayer off without breaking anything?

I had the same problem with my front nozzles. I solved the problem by disconnecting the hose from the washer fluid reservoir, then getting a piece of very flexible vinyl hose. I stuck one end into the end of my water hose, and used duct tape to hold it in. I then turned on the water, and put the other end over the nozzle to force the blockage back out. You may be able to just do this with an old scrap piece of water hose with the end cut off, but the flexible vinyl hose made it easier to make a seal around the washer fluid nozzles with my hand.
