Default OT - Sharpie markers dried out

I've got a box of black Sharpie markers,
purchased several years ago. They have
dried out, so they don't write properly. Is
there something I can add, some solvent,
to make them write again? Drill a hole in
the barrel, and drip some solvent in?

I used to have a working link to the MSDS for Sharpie ink pens

http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/MSDSSheets/default.html but it seems to
not work.

I recall that the solvents varied by pen type.

xylene was the predominate solvent. I used to squirt a bit of Goof
Off into the cap & re-cover the pen.
SOmetimes worked, sometimes not.
