My rear washer fluid hose is constantly disconnecting now. A hard plastic hose connector protrudes from the main supply line, and that connects to the check valve through a thicker 1.25" segment. I'll try using a 3/8" spring clamp from the main line to that "jumper" hose.

The rear spray nozzle has always produced a concentrated squirt of water and does not fan across the glass at all. Is that how it should be? I'm going to backflush the spray nozzle while things are apart, but wonder if the check valve might need to be replaced. Anyone know of a Dorman or aftermarket washer fluid check valve that might work? I believe it's only available from Ford as part of the entire hose assembly.

The clamp worked like a champ but required 1/2" instead. I used the power washer to backflush the nozzle and it's dispersing better, albeit the result remains more of a squirt than a spray. The check valve seems to be working so calling it done.
