12 PACK Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 The Mrs. told me her Journey was out of washer fluid. The fluid was full but the hose to the nozzle came off. Looking at it I see the plastic tip which goes into the hose looks like it's broke, that is, it's at a 45 degree angle inside the part attached to the hood. Anyone replace one of these? It doesn't look like the nozzle piece is easy to get at. I reattached it, but I think it will come off again. I might have to jury rig something to make it stay on there, i.e. superglue.

OhareFred Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Super easy to replace. Took about a minute each. Got mine from Amazon. The link says Jeep Patriot but it’s what I ordered for my DJ.... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078ZWPTK4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 look through the list, it shows for Dodge. Not worth messing with glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 also be smart and replace the plastic tubing with rubber tubing as well at least from the washer nozzle to the side of the hood and then part way down the fender as it cracked on mine where it bends at the corner of the hood, also helps keep it from freezing as well larryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 PACK Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Thanks for the link. I'll bookmark it and search elsewhere for it. Replacing the hose sounds like a good idea, too. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 PACK Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 https://tinyurl.com/y3n79k28 looks like a full kit to replace everything, but the reviews aren't kind. Maybe I should just get the nozzles and get the hose locally. Rock Auto has the nozzles https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10938540&cc=3309784&jsn=415 and the Mopar hose https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5038845&cc=3309784&jsn=423 for just under $18 plus shipping (minus 5% discount available using any search engine). I've had good luck with Rock Auto over the years. Might as well grab some cab & air filters while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavalLacrosse Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Digressing; dumb joke: You could re-route the wiper fluid into the new KN Filter, put gasoline in the wiper fluid reservoir, and then when you're pulling redline onto the freeway just click the switch for a little MAD MAX style passing power.

larryl Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I had to replace mine along the fender also used neoprene line and a clamp works good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 My hood wiper nozzles broke and I had to buy from dealer, couldn’t wait for cheaper parts. Weird early failure. K&N engine filters on non mass air flow engines are fine, you don’t have to worry about over oiling and MAF getting fouled. I used them for years on cherokees I had. Less land fill and cost savings, win win. The 0.75 horse power gain also ? amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have taken hoses off 13 yr old cars that still flexed. They used material that ages out and gets brittle, IMO. My problem was jet not the stiff hose...yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
