widscreen washer pipes HELP !! ......please

[sodall2doo]

I was just replacing my windscreen wipers with these much nicer looking ones with the nozzles built in to the arms ....... all was going splendidly, passenger side took all of 3 minutes ..... then I managed to push the water pipe past the grommet and somewhere into oblivion on the drivers side, anybody know how I can get to it please ? Coz it looks for all the wrld like the dash has to come out ! Somebody please tell me i'm wrong

I did this twice while doing mine. What I did was to cut a small hole between the engine bay and where the pipe disappeared into. then fish the pipe out through the hole with a bent coat hanger and feed it through the correct hole. Patch the hole i made up with a bit of 2mm thick black plastic and mastic round the edge. Took me half a day, which is a lot easier than doing it from inside the car !

This happened on mine, I used a 20mm hole cutter then fitted a blank electrical grommet, it looks neat and it's useful for next time.
