Try a pin in the jets mate, and perhaps a bit of IPA in the jets as well. Just dont get any on the paint!

Id speak to anyone breaking on here. All it will be is dried up windscreen fluid, just needs cleaning through. Have you checked the fluid is at least getting to the end of the tube which meets the jet?

Just work out which part of the washer pipes is/are blocked by removing from the jet that isnt working, and work back towards the bottle until you get good flow. Remove the bits that were flowing badly and put them in a bucket of hot soapy water, leave for a bit to loosen the crud then blow through. That should do it!
