There is a rubber (latex?) disk in them that gets rotted by the washer fluid and/or the engine heat. I made some new disks by cutting out 1-centimeter circles from an old bicycle tube (butyl rubber). Be careful when you pry the old one apart, as there is a small spring mechanism inside. Pop it back together with the new rubber disks and you should be good to go. Others have mede similar disks from rubber gloves or overhead transparency plastic material.
