- Greetings, fellow DIYers! If you're watching this video, it means you're a lot like me-a hands-on, do-it-yourself enthusiast who's not afraid to tackle a project. Today, I'm sharing my experience replacing the hose to my window wiper nozzles in my 2008 Subaru Outback.
Why I Made This Video I'm not a professional mechanic, but I love getting my hands dirty, just like you. When I needed to replace this hose, I scoured the internet for instructional videos, but I came up empty-handed. I also couldn't find a replacement hose at any nearby auto parts stores. Waiting for parts to arrive by order didn't seem like a great option, and I wanted an affordable and convenient solution.
So, I decided to document the process myself to help folks like us. If you're a fellow do-it-yourselfer, you're in the right place.
Step 1: Removing the Clips First, you'll need to pop open your Subaru's hood. Then, take a look at the clips securing the under-the-hood insulation. They have threads, so gently rotate them back and forth while applying outward pressure. Don't rush this step; you want to avoid damaging the clips. Once they're free, carefully remove the insulation.
Step 2: Identifying the Right Hose Under the hood, you'll see multiple hoses, often split by different Y-connectors. For my project, the hose on the far right needed replacing. It's essential to identify the affected hose so you can focus your efforts.
Step 3: Finding the Replacement Hose I couldn't find a matching hose at my local Auto Zone. Instead, I headed to my nearby hardware store, Lowe's. In the plumbing aisle, I found a clear line with a 1/4-inch diameter. It looked like a suitable replacement. I'd read about others using similar solutions on Subaru forums, so I decided to give it a try.
Step 4: Making the Swap With the clear hose in hand, replacing the damaged one was a breeze. Simply remove the old hose and slide the new one into its place. You'll need a pair of needle-nose pliers and a knife for this step.
Step 5: Testing Close your Subaru's hood. Test your wiper nozzles to ensure they work correctly. If everything's in order, congratulations! You've successfully replaced the hose. It's a job well done. Time to put it back together.
Step 6: Finishing Touches & Wrapping Up Finally, put the under-the-hood insulation back in position, using the clips you removed earlier. Remember, take your time and avoid damaging the clips. They're essential to keep the insulation secure.

My problem is the hose going to the rear sheld...😤
Ye unfortunately most of the hoses are going through the fender so you'd have to take the fender off I think? I saw someone suggest just to buy a new hose and run it from the reservoir to the connector and be done with it.

On my Subaru the rear hose goes from the hood then up the driver side arm of the roof and travels back through the roof to the rear to the top rear windshield... 😤😒
@@ellissmithjr6599could you tape/ glue the new hose and pull the old hose from the rear hatch thus pulling both through? Mine has gotten very brittle so idk if it would actually work.

I wished that it would be that easy... Not going to bother with it... Thanks for the reply👍😎
@@ellissmithjr6599 ohh man that is tough is there a way to run a different line without going through the same path?
