Windshield washer hose nipples
Inside the wiper arms are the two hoses for the two squiter nozzles. These hoses come from a 1 into 2 white plastic nipple assembly. Of course, my two hose end broke off and now I need the 2 cent nipple dealie.
Of course there is no listing for that part and I wonder where one can get that stupid "built to fail" piece of plastic? Surely someone has also experienced this, I hope.
Thanks for any help,
Steve

Found wiper arm hose!
After searching for a number of years, I finally found the special hose that goes inside the wiper arm for the widnshield washer system.
Anco #78-764
This is a 7/64" hose and is available from Summit or on Ebay.
The kit comes with two hoses, the right one is the larger of the two.
The length is 6' so is good for fixing both sides.
No longer necesary to pay the General $100 each for new arms just to get new hose.
Now if I could just find the special y fitting...

Washer hoses go bad here in Florida
Our super severe sun destroyed my washer hoses about 5 years ago. I've been painting clear hoses since then and now have found the correct hoses. Maybe you don't take your Vette out very often. I drive mine daily.
