Default Washer fluid not working after new windshield replaced?

I had a new windshield installed on my 2009 corvette about a week ago, a couple of days later noticed windshield washer not working.
checked fluid level it appeared empty i topped it off next day still not working, i can smell the fluid but not pumping to windshield..
a day later and the washer fluid is now like half full. Any suggestions? Pump bad? something disconnected during my windshield replacement? Your assistance is appreciated.

Easiest to see, the rubber tubes connecting to the wiper assemblies.
To replace W/S wiper arms needed to be removed.
I start there.

Any puddles under car?
Not as easy to see rubber tubes where they connect to the W/S wiper fluid pump.
Possibly the wiper were removed with the tubes attached and they were
stretched (forced) off the pump.

Access to the pump takes some mechanical skill.
Find where the fluid is going, ask a friend to help, if the pump is working,
the fluid is going somewhere.

Good luck.
