Default Windshield Washer Fitting?

There is a little plastic fitting that installs through the cowl. The upper part has a nipple to which the hose to the wiper blade attaches.

The nipple on one of mine is half broken off and sprays all over.

Anybody know of of a source for this part, or other fix, other than a used one from Vettenuts or other salvage source?

Never could find it OEM available from any of the online parts catalogs.

Finally found a used one from Vettenuts' site and ordered.

Had the same problem with a headlight adjuster retainer.

I find it very irritating that these two bit safety related plastic parts, which will eventually age and break, are not available from GM.
