2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata - Windshield Washer Hose

The windshield washer hose or tube carries washer fluid pumped from the washer reservoir to the windshield spray nozzles. Over time, the rubber or plastic can weaken and crack or split, which can cause washer fluid leaks. A common mistake is to fill the reservoir with water instead of washer fluid. The water may freeze and can crack the washer reservoir or burst a hose. It also allows mold to grow which can clog the lines. If your washer fluid doesn't spray, check the hoses for any damage. If the lines are clear and the fluid full, you may need to look at other parts of the washer system like the pump.
