Default Help Me Identify This Part.

I found this hose when I removed my windshield washer tank for repairs/cleaning/removal of the rusted metal inserts. The view is through the front passenger fender well, looking back towards the cabin. This would place the line towards the base of the windshield/cowl area, again, on the passenger side.

Perhaps this is just a drain line for the body, but the hose appears broken on the tip, suggesting that it may connect to something and needs replacing. Any ideas? I wanted to tend to it while I was in there if something needed repairing.

Thanks,

AH! I actually knew that one! Damn.

BTW- The way to clean it is to use a length of weedwacker line. It's strong enough to feed up there, but flexible enough to bend with the hose without piercing it.

That's a great idea Mike. I would personally chuck the plastic weed trimmer string in a wireless drill and spin the string in the hole while shooting a lot of wd40 in the hole to really flush it out, if it needed it.

NICE, hadn't thought of that.

David, thanks for a quick reply and for helping me figure out what it was. It's so hard to believe that it's not something that needs replacing....as has been the case so far this week.

Mike & BB79: I can just see me up in the fender well with a weed eater and someone come driving down the driveway to witness it. They would probably assume I had finally snapped and lost my marbles after all my 928 woes.....and just turn around and quickly leave without getting out for a visit..........................they would be half-way right.

Thanks for the suggestion....I just may very well try the string idea; less the motor.
