Bloody windscreen washer pipe!!!

[ruta87]

Hello all. I cannot seem to get the windscreen washer pipe to sit in a place where it doesn't get ripped to bits by the wiper... Only happens on the left hand side fortunately which means I can still see. Has anyone else had this annoying issue? If so what are your solutions please??!

You need to have sufficient washer pipe in a loop by the spindle to allow the wipers to make a full sweep of the screen without straining the pipe...That maybe stating the bleeding obvious - Sorry.

You can get washer pipe from your local motor factors and then fit to satisfy criteria above.
The passenger side does suffer from the heat off the exhaust/cats particularly, whilst sitting in traffic. This melts or degrades the pipe to the point that it can flatten or tears off the little connectors.

hi, i think i know what you mean,. Plastic cable ties to hold the pipe against the wiper arm were the best solution for me. http://www.amazon.co.uk/tag/plastic%20cable%20ties...
