    broken rear window washer - how to fix

    Hi There,

    I have broken off my rear window washer jet (easy to get another I know) but the real problem is that the pipe has disappeared into the panel and I don't know how to get to it.

    Help please......

    Remove the interior trim and replace it.

    Thanks for that thought but when I do remove the interior trim the pipe is located in between an inner and an outer skin which I can't get to - that is the problem. I know that it comes across the headliner and then disappears into the gap between these two panels on the rear quarter.

    What I need to know is how to get it back to the hole in the outer panel......

    Any thoughts?

    Probably have to pull it out underneath and the use a cable puller to rethread it.
    Did you know there is a revised washer jet that is about 10mm long, rather than the 30mm long monstrosity that always gets broke? Can't remember the number off hand though.

    Therefore it sounds like a head liner out job?

    I kind of assumed it came from outside, i was lucky, i cuould reach mine with some pliers when it happened to me.
    If it runs inside them probabaly just rear pillar and a bit of side movement would do it.

    Thanks Steve,

    I'll poke around inside the pillar and see what I can grab with a coat hanger......

    Fixed it!

    I found the pipe inside the panel with an bit of bent wire and hooked it out - took a bit of work though.

    Now I have replaced it with stubby version that doesn't break off so easily.

    cheers everyone.
