Rear washer problem

[Bored Lizard]

Ok rear washer does not work.
had a look and the pipe has come off of the fitting
The question is how do I reattach it?
I have a rear spoiler so I guess I will have to remove this first?
Does the rear washer fitting then just unscrew?

Thanks in advance guys and girls as I know that some of you out there will know the answer

That's unusual... Usually its just a case of the level being low in the reservoir, (rear washer packs up first, as the feed is higher up in the reservoir). Are you sure that the end of the nozzle hasn't snapped off with the tube? They are really stuck on there quite well, like i say, it's unusual that it should just come adrift like that....

Definatly come off, you can see a slight widening of the flexible hose where it has been on the washer nozzle

Hmm... That's a pain. I reckon the rear washer jet would be attached via a thin sleeve at the rear, (inside the tailgate), this may need to be prised/slid off to release the washer jet. I'd go for releasing the jet, then getting hold of the washer hose somehow, (old straightened wire coathanger?) Then try to get it to emerge out of the hole in the tailgate, re-attach, then pop it back in. I think i'd be tempted to try to clamp or secure the hose a little more,less chance of it coming of again in future....It sounds like its gonna be a real pain
