One thing I did find out, if you hold onto the old washer, jet the rubber piece dries out, and the jet works fine again. I had replaced a jet and kept the faulty one with the car to drop into a dealer and show them but didn’t get to the dealer for about two months. When I did, I took a large syringe and a piece of pipe to demonstrate the issue the jet worked perfectly, quite a surprise to be honest.
I've had the same issue. I followed your tips and trimmed the rubber washer...now working. Bad design Honda😢 This is an update - I've now fitted aftermarket items which work much better. I've created a video like yours - Search for "Blocked windscreen washer jets on Honda Civic mk10 2017. Quick fix."
I've had my 2017 civic for 2 years and I'm about to put my 4th set of new jets on it, they don't last 8 months. Very annoying, Honda did say to use deionized water - not tap water.
Honda are having a laugh if they insist on deionised water. That’s just a cop out. Poor show from a company that prides itself on quality. I should know, I worked for them for 20 years!
I am sick to death of these washer jets stopping working, they do last about 6 month then need changing. I was hoping I could find a reason but seems to be they just need changed constantly.
It Worked!!! Trimmed the rubber washer but completely removed the second one. Still works fine. Many thanks👍

Could you not take the orange rubber piece out all together?.
No because it's a non return valve. It would take time for the water to be pumped up to the jet and the wipers would be wiping dirt dry.
Hi Mike thank you for your video. I have a similar model and mine is completely blocked. Do you think I should take it to Honda?

I had that problem. Took the jet off and drilled out the rubber. Worked fine after.
