Windshield Washer Hose: Service and Repair




Washer Hose Repair

NOTE: This procedure may be carried out on rubber hoses only. If a plastic washer hose is leaking, a new washer hose must be installed.

1. Locate and verify the leaking washer hose.

2. Cut the hose cleanly and remove the damaged portion of the washer hose.





3. Install a windshield washer hose adapter between the cut ends of the hose.

4. NOTE: In difficult cases, clamping may be required.
Install a segment of 6.4 mm (0.25 in) ID black rubber hose over the ends of the washer hose and clamp both ends of the rubber hose using spring clamps.
