Default Rear Window Washer

No clue how but this past winter, my rear window washer hose "nub" (don't know tech name) snapped off partially ... either frigid temps or overzealous snow removal. Hose won't attach so solution sprays out straight, not up on window! Any idea how to repair inexpensively?

If the plastic nub is still there, like stuck in the washer hose, you can pull it out, jam a toothpick through it into its intended position on the hatch and epoxy it back on. The toothpick will maintain its position while the epoxy sets up, as well as keep the passage clear. If you don't have that piece still then I would imagine you could do the same with any piece of plastic of like size, or buy a new unit.

Thx for confirming what I figured might work. I believe nub still inside hose (feels like it). Use any particular brand epoxy? I guess if fails can go to junkyard or buy new.

Where's Albrightsville? Is this where all the people living there are bright?

Anything good for plastic would work I'd imagine.

This is very common. But I think most people prefer spraying tailgaters than fixing it, haha.
