I've been searching the forums and haven't found anything. Now that we're into the snow here, my windshield washers don't work reliably. If I pour hot water over them, they some times work, but not always.

I use Rain-X fluid that is supposed to be good down to -25 degrees, and don't have this problem with any of four other vehicles using the same fluid.

If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.

Run hot water through the lines from the reservoir.

I take it you don't have the heated washer fluid option. It is now available thru the aftermarket by a company that bought the rights from the company that GM bankrupted. It's made by Alphathermusa and autoanything.com carries it. Got one for my 2010 and as soon as it warms up a little, plan to install.
