Wanted : Screen washer jet pipe

[Pcheaven]

Sorry. I do t know the correct name.

The U shaped pipe that squirts onto the screen.
Mine is broken in half

Any idea where I can source one.

Yes, they are to be had, sometimes very expensively.
Worth cleaning out (small drill-bit) the short steel tube in the spindle, which could be blocked with rust.

This works far better than the original design...

Sadly mine snapped when removing to clean it !!!

Beyond salvage

[white exec]

They do - go brittle and then snap when handled.
Just replace with small black HDPE pipe (commonly used for plant watering - try a garden centre), with a few strategic holes.
U-bend not needed if you do a mid-way tee.

Chevronics did have them new at one time, but again its only a bit of pipe so if your handy you should be able to make one

Sadly recently gone out of stock. They may have more coming. Always worth a call. I thought the original was plastic or is memory playing tricks on me?

Yes, originally plastic

For now I have gone down the Mercedes sprinter jet that attaches to the wiper arm. In the pictures it looks good.
Arrives Tuesday, so will see then.

I wonder if you can 3D print one ...

Buy some mini plastic compressed air line, about 1/8" od, and drill some tiny holes in it, spaced about 1" apart. Its very cheap, you'll probably get a few feet from places like machine mart, or a supplier of compressed air equipment.
I still have a coil of the stuff from the eighties.
