Kind of off-topic: My 86 951 has the heated washer jets, the only problem is these things clog constantly. I've used compressed air to blow them out and replaced the hoses and it still clogs. Anyone found a filter or other method to clean these guys out?

Yep, the blades are heated to keep them from icing up. This is a problem with some cars in winter storms.

They would have to put out a lot heat to deice a windshield, especially if the car is moving.

He's right on that, odd as it sounds.
