Rear washer/boot

19th May 2016, 22:41

Right the previous owner smashed the back window so he replaced it with a boot from a saxo 1.1, but he didn't wire up anything nor connect the washer pipe, had a look today and could not get the washer fluid pipe (rear window) out of that metal casing sort of bit on the roof of the car (driver side, sorry dunno what it's called lol) but anyway I want to dewiper, but ATM if I do the rear washer fluid it pisses out ceiling of the car so drops everything goes all through door cards etc, it's a nuisance pretty much. I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be as i want to dewiper anyway I'm not gunna need the rear washer, so would snipping the wire at the front drivers side arch bit be alright to do so then when I use rear washer it just goes straight to the floor? I dunno what the best way to go about this would be. I'd rather not cut the pipe and somehow turn off the rear washer, disconnect of some sort but i assume if I take the pipe out of the actual washer fluid tub thing it's all just gunna come out as soon as I put it in meaning I will never have washer fluid for the front ones? Proper stuck on this any idea is appriceated, apart from that loving the vtr 😊 It's a phase 2 vtr by the way if this helps? Cheers

If you can get to the tube that feeds the nozzle at the hatchback, bend it over and tightly tie wrap it.
Alternatively cut the tube at the washer pump and feed it back it to the top of the washer fluid plastic tank seal around hole with silicone.

Put a self tapping screw into the washer pipe along with silicone sealant around the thread.
