Hi there,

Second time writing this as I am an idiot and accidently clicked off.

Basically my rear screen wash (I think is what yall call it) wasnt spraying so I investigated and found out the hose was of course broken in the rubber that takes it from inside the car to the rear hatch. (Can provide pictures later)

Basically what im asking is am I in for a big job? Do I need to route this all the way to the bottle in the front of the car or is there a connection I can access to put in some new hose? Can I pull back my headliner and access it from there or is it a bigger job then that? Was planning to pull my headliner out to clean it anyways so not that big of a deal. Any advice on a spot to cut and add in new hose if there is not a connection?

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Generally there should be a connection somewhere around the entrance from the hatch. If there isn't one, you can make it with no problem with an appropriate diameter plastic / stainless steel tube.

The entrance from the hatch into the body is always the most problematic place, as he tube is being bent constantly. But of course, there could be other places where the tube is damaged or even leaking (sharp corners, metal edges). This is more likely specific to the model.
