Windshield Washer Jets Issue

Has anyone noticed that of the 4 washer fluid jets, sometimes only three of them work.
I checked the one jet that intermittently works for a clog, but none noticed.
Does anyone know how to service this item?

I think they are like "regular" (e.g. non-Mercedes) washer nozzles - can't you just stick a needle in to the orifice? If that doesn't work you may have to take the unit out and replace it.

I tried the needle thing, carefully, it worked but then it stopped again. It is really strange.

It sound like there is a particle in the line. When you squirt, it jams up into the nozzle, but occasionally releases.

I think I'd take it in and let your warranty cover the headache of messing with it.

Same thing happened with my car. I tried adjusting it with a pin and even blew some kompressed air into the lines to see if anything was clogging it up. The best thing to do is just take it in and let them replace the whole nozzle for you.
