Technical Rear window washer tube routing?

[Mark0]

Hi folks, had some trouble with my washers being all blocked up with sediment. I successfully replaced the front nozzle and tube for new items and cleaned out the filter and the front one now works great.

Before I attempt to replace the rear tube was just wondering if someone could tell me if it's one continuous section from boot to engine bay? I was thinking about replacing it by connecting the new section and pulling it through. Any tips for making this job easy?

There's a non return valve if I remember right, somewhere behind the rear side trim panel on the passenger side. That's normally the first place to look for a sediment blockage to the rear anyway (and I fully intend to do that sometime soon since my rear washer's been blocked too for a pretty long while now!)

That makes sense, I'll take a picture or two when I do it.

yeah its behind the pass side rear trim. they always block up. we replaced a few with a bit of copper brake line as it fits the pipe perfectly. only problem is that you have to push the button longer to fill all the pipe back up, as it all drains back into the tank.. which is very handy in the winter as it does not freeze up

And has anyone worked out how to switch the rear wiper on and off without squirting the screen too?
Or am I just ham-fisted?

As others have said regarding the none return valve

You can't, or you press it a lightning speed
