Update: a straightened paper clip took care of the jets on the hood.
They were clogged and not pointing right. The pointing part is not
easy to fix but I tried and it is better now.

The wiper problem just went away after the washer fluid drenched the
windsheild thoroughly.

Just goes on to show that a little bit of cleaning now and then helps
:-)
