Default Windshield Washer Question

My 2000 coupe windshield washer quit spraying and it was obvious to see the problem. There is a small nipple that comes up next to the wiper. There is a small tube coming from the wiper that connects to the nipple. The part of the nipple that the tube connects to is broken off (still inside the tube). So, obviously I need to replace that nipple. I couldn't tell if the nipple pulls off, screws off or what. Does anyone have any experience replacing that little part? Thanks!

You've probably got this fixed by now but I can tell you the one on the drivers side of mine ('98) was clogged. It popped out of the rubber piece in the cowl cover with a little pressure. A small drill bit and 2 sore fingers later the clog was cleared and I was squirting from the driver side arm but the passengers side was making a mes of things. The little plastic piece in the middle of the arm that split the fluid between the two spray nozzles is broken. Chevy dealer says have to buy the arm to replace it. Napa, Pep Boys, Advance nor Autozone carry the passengers side arm so I think its on to Ebay to get an arm for a 50 cent chunk of plastic unless someone has a supplier for it.

This is a really old thread,but I would simply go to a junk yard and they would prob give you one for free. This is a generic part that fits most GM cars.

Kewl, thanks. Couldn't think off the top of my head any GM's that used the dual squirter nozzles on the wiper arms but ten again I haven't really had or worked on a newer GM in alot of years.
