My niece had this problem last week. Checked google and suggested finding underground parking and let it thaw out. Drain out and put all season fluid or winter washer fluid.

It's not the washer fluid! My last washer fluid tank of summer stuff was emptied and filled with winter washer fluid good for -45 back in September. I still get the frozen nozzles. I'm gonna drill out that check valve. Seems to be the culprit.

I know right! My truck is going in for both.

pretty bad i gotta carry bungees to hold my door shut, not just for cargo. I bungee from seatbelt to door handle, I go around a corner and gotta pull tight on it so it dont fly open.
