General Discussion / Re: Windshield wiper hose« Last post by ehjorten on May 01, 2024, 08:44:50 AM »The later design windshield washer plumbing has a hose nipple immediately adjacent to each wiper arm axle that protrudes ~1" from the cowl. The nozzles are built into the business end of the wiper arms near the wiper blade attachment pins. The hose "clip" was more like a 4" long conduit that snapped onto the arm from below. You may be able to fabricate a makeshift replacement from some UV stabilized black plastic tubing. Not only that, but the cowl panel had larger openings around the wiper posts to accommodate the washer hose routing. 8

If the local parts stores have it, perhaps the forum's store will also have it. 10
