Question Need suggestion for broken windshield washer nozzle 1997 Cherokee

While removing the cowl of my '97 Cherokee to try and address water in the passenger compartment, I accidentally broke off the brittle hose nipple and snap loop on the square nozzle piece that mounts in the cowl. I was wondering if there's any chance of finding these online somewhere or I'll just have to hit the junkyard. I read a couple posts where people drilled out the hole and put a piece of copper tube in there, but I was wondering if it would be secure enough. Then there's the missing loop that the snap plug went through to keep it attached to the cowl.

To be honest, this will never be a 'show' jeep so I'm not adverse to drilling another hole in the cowl and using some aftermarket nozzle if they will work since those things are all over the place for Grand Cherokees.

Anyone have a suggestion on a source to replace these or suggestion to work around?

And while I have the cowl off, is the drajn accessible from within this compartment that causes water to overflow into the driver floor? I'm sure this is addressed in other threads, but each Jeep seems to have a different cause.

Thanks in advance.
