I have an inoperative windhield sprayer nozzle on my 79 Midget. As far as I can tell the hoses are open as they pass air thu them. What is the best way to remove the nozzle to either clean it or replace it? Do I have to remove the dash to accomplich this task? Thanks
 
Hello Jerry,
before trying to remove it, try a sharp toothpick or a pin and try and clear the nozzle tip. It usually works.

Have already tried that and got a little more flow but nor as much as the other one. I believe this is permanently partially blocked.
 
Don't have a '79 handy to look at, but the '72, '74, and '63 all have nozzles that unscrew from the main body with a small screwdriver.
You may also want to try blowing compressed air through them from the bottle side.
If you have to replace them, they can be accessed from under the dash, which is no picnic on a later model!
