Tubing

I have an '03 Civic. The tubing for the windshield wiper fluid seems to have shrunk? I don't know, but the tubing for the passenger side pulled off the connector and it won't stay on. Now it doesn't seem to be long enough, and stretching it does not work. Does anyone know what the diameter of the tubing is and where I might get it without having to buy it from Honda?

Re: Tubing

I want to say 3/16 or 5/32 inch...... We have some at work on a roll but I'm at home and can't see it from my recliner LOL


Any decent parts store should have replacement hose on a spool, just pick the size that fits and buy a chunk long enough (plus a little extra just in case) to replace whatever you need


either take a sample of your tube into your local parts store and match it up
or remove one of the plastic fittings from your car and carry it in to test fit on their hoses

Thanks, I'll stop by the parts store.

Re: Tubing

I think I used 1/4". It's been a while. Do what ezone said and take a plastic fitting in with you
