Re: Defrost hoses.

I would try some black rtv silicone...slippery to install,and once it dries it will hold them on

Re: Defrost hoses.

I would suggest using talcum powder (baby Powder) to get the hoses on. It will limit the stickiness, but not provide lasting lubrication. Just be careful the first time you blow air through the tubes because there will likely be a cloud of powder. I used this method for the silicone heater tubes in aircraft.
