Washer Hose in wiper arm.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nodnarb76 · 07-05-2017, 06:50 PM

So one of my little rubber hoses broke for the pass side washer sprayer.
When I went to clean my windshield, I would squirt water about 3 ft in front of my truck. My kids thought it was cool, but Its not getting my pass side windshield clean.
Yesterday decided to go ahead and remove the wiper arms so I could re-paint them, and replace the very small, hose that is pushed through the wiper arm spring. Come to find out looks like you cannot get that exact hose. I have been to Autozone, Napa, O'riley, and advance auto parts. I even work at a car dealership (Hyundai not chevy I know) and we didn't have that size in our bulk tube rack. Chevrolet can order me a spool in the correct size but will be $45.
Does anyone have a source for this? If I have to buy the $45 spool of hose, does anyone else need some too?

Should be able to take a piece to local auto parts store to match size and use vacuum hose.

I'm not sure what size it is, but maybe this pic will help. Used a penny to try and give as much of a reference point as possible.
Thanks for that website, I haven't seen that before, in my bookmarks now.

i've tried about everything, including new arms with new tubing from lmc. didn't last long. only thing that lasted was weedeater fuel line, but it was neon. ended up using some vacuum tube zip tied under the arm and moved on.

I hate to hear that about the LMC hose, I just ordered one from there lol!
I have looked everywhere I can locally and cannot find that hose.
