Help with Washer Fluid Hose Replacement

Last night when I was re-filling my washer fluid reservoir thinking the reason I wasn't getting any fluid was because it was empty, I noticed that the washer fluid tubing/hose on my 2013 Hardtop S had broken in half. There's a clear break about halfway between the jets and the reservoir.

I found the replacement hosing online but I was wondering if anyone had a DIY on how to replace it. The rear jets to the back windshield are not affected so it's just the front windshield. Does anyone have a how to for this? I'd really like to avoid the dealership since it seems something that should be pretty simple to do.

Let me know if you guys know how to do this.

Thanks,

Diagrams is linked it just unclips and a new one in , press the hose into the nipples on the washer jets and the end hose goes down by the pump. Might have to go through the front left wheel well to hook it.

Thanks! Is there a write up for removing the wheel well to access? Is it just a few bolts/clips? I live in NYC so accessing it is sort of a challenge but if it isnt too complicated I'll go for it.

We have a Front and Rear Wheel Well Liner Replacement article that goes over the removal of the front and rear liners that you could use.

Got our site here http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...17_catalog.htm and click on the "tech info" tab at the top. Scroll down and it's by the bottom under "Body."

Turn the wheel to the inside or outside and work towards the front, you should only have to fold it back some from the middle that how i got mine off the access the washer tank on the driver side.

get some of these , they always break when i pop the out, use a fork split flat head tool to hold the base of them from spinning and the Philips screwdriver to unscrew. 07130702966

Rats got into my engine and chewed things up badly. I have a problem with the hose that runs from the reservoir to the rear washer. I can't figure out where the hose goes? Can't find place to attach the hose once it leaves the reservoir. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!
