My driver's side washer jet keeps getting blocked. I can temporarily clear its holes by shoving a pin down 'em, but it's only a matter of time before they clog again.

I've looked but I can't see immediately see how to access it to remove for cleaning or replacement. Any pointers would be gratefully received ta!

Forget clearing the jets for the time being it will be crap sludge in the tank created by using substandard fluid - its a closed system.
Clear your tank thoroughly with some pressure on a hose. Till no more gunk / gunge is present.
Disconnect the hoses at the jets and and engage wash to push out all crap and backwash the jets.
Add quality cleaning fluid (MB own is very good), no washing up liquid etc.
Reconnect
