top hose line is cracked all the way up. forgot to mention.
why are these made of plastic, a thick rubber would make it less succeptable to breaking from a small budge
i dont even know what this thing does

there's a 2-part plastic filler that you can buy at walmart. can't find it now, but get back to me later, i'll give you the exact name. when i dropped my bike, it broke off the coolant overflow canister's fitting where the rubber hose goes. the bike runs steady 200 so without it, you can't ride it even 3 minutes. to make it short, i fixed it with that filler. that was 3 years ago. still doing fine.

I was told it had something to do with emissions too, and that with that segment of the hose broken the yeep would have some yucky fumes coming out but i guess not. i can live without cruise control, but cant wthout defrost.
just gonna find some rubber hose replacement, thanks for your help guys. i know nothing concerning cars, and forums are my only resources for getting answers.

If it's not clogged then you have a magic jeep heater.
