Relocate my Cavaliers washer nozzle to the hood.

[97prizm]

Hi All,
After all of the hoopla getting my Cavalier to pass emissions I've been trying to track down the tiny hoses attached to the wiper arms. It seems like they're a proprietary size as none of the hose at Napa seemed to fit. I'm fairly certain that they're long out of production as I haven't found any for replacement. I don't know if other year cavaliers have the washer nozzles mounted on the hood. Is that a big undertaking to swap?

If you have patience like a century old turtle, I'd say its possible. 1) Aligning things for proper spray patterns and 2) routing the hoses would drive me insane.

This is one of things that Amazon is good at. You can get washer hose in bulk on Amazon.

What year Cavalier? I have a suspicion that your Cavalier works like my 1999 Alero.

Check ebay for 1/8" or 1/4" silicone hose, the stuff stretches pretty good, measure the fitting with calipers first.

These aren't your normal washer hoses that have the look and feel of vacuum tubing (which would be too droopy for this application). These are more plasticy and rigid like an emissions hose, except not as much.
