Default Windshield Washer Trouble

2016 Stingray: Recently my windshield wiper fluid stopped spraying. ...must need more fluid. I filled the tank but that didn't help. Looking under the hood, I discovered this unconnected line from the tank. It looks like it should attach to a hose but I can't find any hose in the area. I had the windshield replaced a few weeks ago and I know they had to disassemble a lot of the cowl area. I'm hoping that my unconnected hose isn't somewhere buried inside the cowl.

Can someone take a look under their hood to see where I might find the hose?
Thank you. any help appreciated.

Watch around the 13:35 mark. It shows the tube. Shouldn't be that hard to hook up.

Coincidentally enough, a week or so ago I posted some pics on how to remove the wiper cowl, and if you take a look at this thread https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...l-removal.html, you might see something that helps you. Good luck!

Thread starter here.
Thank you for posting solutions. Before seeing them I stopped into Safelite, where the windshield was replaced. Their tech fixed my problem in about 10 seconds. He just pried up end of that flexible cover, reached in and attached the tube. Couldn't be simpler.

Thanks again for helping! Much appreciated!
