Wiper hose broken

Hello all, I'm a fairly new G35X buyer and I've recently had a wiper issue where the passenger side wiper had no liquid coming out.

I did some troubleshooting and found this:



how bad is it?

Should be an even fix. You can buy a rubber hose at hardware stores. Is it just the hose or is that plastic part on the cowling broke?

For the future be sure to ONLY use winter-rated washer fluid when it's below freezing, typically things like that happen because people use water for wiper fluid and it freezes and breaks pieces like that.

Empty the system by running the washer fluid until it's empty, then refill with winter fluid, then pump more out to make sure the line was completely purged of the old stuff.

Hahaha, I would be insane if I did that up here in Quebec. I always have -40 washer fluid. I'm guessing that I was cleaning ice off of it too vigorously and it sheared off .

Yeah I suppose that could happen too.

If you cleaned it thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol you MIGHT be able to super glue it back on if you used very little glue so it didn't get into the hole in the middle.

Here's another picture:

Also, how do I get that part off the tube ??? just plain old elbow grease?

Is it easy to put back on?

Everywhere it slips on nick it with a straight edge razor blade so it can twist loose easier. everything those hoses attach to is plastic and probably getting brittle. Then just push the new hose one until it gets a little ways past the barb.
