Hey guys and gals. I have a really stupid one for you guys.You know the hose that goes from the winshield washer tank and to the sprayer?Well the hose that connects the pump from inside the tank to the hose that actualy caries the liquid to the windshield came appart. Meaning the long hose came out of the connection and i can fit it back in the connection( seems ruber)but as soon as a squirt a couple of drops of liquid it is throughn out of the connection.How can i make it stay there. Ofcourse i thought of a clamp or glue but this doesn't seem the best way . Any ideeas would be apprecated.

New hose. They're cheap and sold by the foot at many auto parts stores. You can get a spring clamp (looks like a loop of wire-used on older motorcycle fuel/vacuum lines) to hold it.

um...u can try hair spray. It will act as a lubricant then don't touch it for a little while and when it drys its like a glue and if you do it right it should work, that what i did for mine. Good luck
