    not really. drive the car long enough for them to warm up...or put that orange icemelt stuff in the reservoir.

    yea i don't think it could be frozen. maybe the excess fluid stuck somewhere along the lines that may have froze.. warming up the engine for 5 minutes in the morning should do it.

    The ones on my dad's car are frozen, it's been in the negative for the past couple of days here as well. I sprayed de-icer on the nozzles thinking the nozzles were frozen shut but guess not.

    Or you can always try taking a needle and poking the little nozzle holes. I had to do that from mine getting clogged up and they wouldnt squirt.

    I'd either go with the junk yard or ebay. I was looking for one couple months back on ebay for my cousin's 98 corolla. Didn't find it, got it at a junk yard instead.
