    I was just wondering if someone here ever put a filter in the windshield washer line?
    looks like an easy thing to do, I'm just concerned that the pressure to the nozzles will be lower than without a filter/

    recently the nozzles were plugged for whatever reason & I replaced them ($37.- for both....)
    to avoid that in the future I thought about putting a fuel filter (probably with some paper filter media inside; just the regular, cheap filters) in-line in the washer line/
