Clogged Windshield Sprayer

Anyone know how to get them out? I searched the board and I read that they just pop out. Mine does not seem to just pop out. Thanks in advance.

I have read on Griot's site and the catalogs I get from them (my detail supplier) that you can use a pick to unclog the sprayer.

DAD'S SET OF PICKS
My father gave me a set of picks years ago, and I have relied on them more often than my 1/2" box end wrench! They allow you to clean out small crevices or windshield washer nozzles, fish wire through tiny holes, take out stubborn O-rings and position parts, the list goes on and on and on! Give them to your son and he'll think of you at least once a week! High quality, made in the U.S.A. 5 picks. Case included.
If you have something small enough to get into the orifice, give it a shot.

Use a needle, or a very fine wire as on a paper tag to clean out the debris.

Or disconnect the hose's from the washer pump, and use compressed air to blow out the debris.

And cheaper than buying a pick set too.
Although I have been meaning to buy a set, they can come in handy for many other things too.

Good for pickin' the nose when you wanna keep your fingers clean

I was going to say a needle might be too thick, use a staple.
Compressed air greatly helps with the unclogging process.
