Sorry, not much help from me on the overall setup. My '85 300D has the functions of the tee and the check valve integrated into one unit. It would seem to me, though, that it would make sense for the check valve to be between the washer pump and (both) nozzles.
You can do the same back flush with s syringe; a medical one or one of those that they sell out here from the 99 cent stores for injecting flavors into meat.

Anyway that is what I did. Thanks for the water pick idea. I have a water pick but never thought of using it to clear the nozzles.

Also you can use a thin wire or needle to push in anything stuck in the nozzle.

In my case I think the issue is that there is no filter in the system so once in awhile I end up with a nozzle plugged.
