My replacement of that hose used vaccuum hose, purchased by the foot from my 
FLAPS. I chose a thinner walled, slipperier type, rather than a straight rubber 
type, for ease of feeding the stuff thru the restricted spaces. Just make sure 
the ID of the new hose is the same as the old hose. To ease the issues involved 
in getting it thru some of the passages, I removed the old hose, but attached a 
piece of heavy string ( masons' twine, actually) to one end, so the string could 
be used to pull the new hose thru. And if the string and hose become separated, 
try using a shop-vac at one end of the passage, to draw the string thru. BTDT. 
Also, using a bit of electricians tape to hold the string on, and make the 
leading end on the hose seem pointier, can help.

Subject: Rear windshield washer tube

Does anyone know what size (diameter and length) the plastic tube is for the
rear windshield washer spritzer? Looks like mine is brittle and broken in
several places. Any secrets to fishing thing through the body panels?
TIA,
