Default Windshield fluid sprayers malfuntion

Has anyone experienced problems with the windshield fluid sprayers? My sprayers have lost their pressure or force to spray out the fluid. It barely sprays and doesn't reach the windshield. It started as the passenger side not spraying out much, but when my spouse pulled the tubes off to look at it, now both sides aren't spraying out enough. Any way to fix this?

Could be a kink in the hose, a slice or cut in the hoses, or maybe your pump is dying out. There is a washer fluid pump, but you can test if its working properly by removing the hose and using the sprayer to see if it moves the fluid. Maybe a clogged sprayer nozzle too

Do you hear the pump run? I had the bottom of 1 of my nozzles break off and was spraying in the engine compartment.

I just had the hoses replaced and the guy who did it says everything is working fine but the nozzles now spray very low. Pressure seems alright but I suppose it could be low but I don't know. Is there a way to adjust the nozzle spray height? They look to be specialized parts that have slots not holes.
