    Fix for this loom tubing?

    As far as I can tell, it is a loom tubing that's very narrow, no split, and there is nothing inside but a passageway for the rear wiper washer fluid to pass through. To me it's a very poor design as it does get crimped when the hatch is closed that's exactly how it got severed, after many years...

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    Ok...2nd modification...bought some black 3/8" to 3/8" silicone tubing from Amazon ($8 for 5ft length). It was still maybe 1mm wider than the loom to make a snug fit without using the brass barb coupler. But when used with the brass coupler, the silicone tubing sleeved over it very snug for a...

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    Yes but when you gotta McGyver it, you just gotta make it work! Lol

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    @Moeman yes I do share those same concerns too...I tried going with an inner coupler made of plastic at 3/16" size and it didn't fit...the next size down is 1/8" and that was a real narrow piece and I was worried that it might've obstructed the flow so I didn't try it and went with this current...

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    Ok finally got a chance to go to the hardware store...bought a brass "hose barb" fitting and the correct size is 3/8" to 3/8". I slid both ends of the severed tubing into the coupler and then tested out the rear wiper fluid. Result: Fluid is flowing once again...but it's not a perfect seal so...

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    Seems to me like Ford should have just used a rubber tubing instead of a plastic loom for this particular section.

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    That's what I first thought it was.... But the tubing is already very narrow so I don't think it is. Also I found this other thread talking about it and that OP confirms that it is the actual fluid hose...

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    That's a great idea with the plumbing coupler! I was also thinking of maybe some type of small irrigation rubber hose that I could cut into a small piece to couple it over the loom. Will try it out and report back to the forum.

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    I think is the actual hose where the fluid goes through because I tested it out and the blue colored fluid came out from the top portion of that severed loom and all of the fluid ran down the side and drained down towards the rear bumper.

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    I just experienced this on my 2018...how did you finally fix yours @TimberExpy ? Disregard, I was able to MacGyver a temporary fix on mine.

    Fix for this loom tubing?

    My rear wiper wasn't dispensing the fluid, so then I lifted the hatch to take a look and saw that this loom was severed. There were signs of water/fluid coming from the top portion of the tubing, so I'm guessing this is part of the hose that feeds the fluid to the rear wipers. Is there an easy...

    Used 12-17 EL Ltd/Plat vs 18 MAX Ltd - what's it worth?

    I like the 2015 Platinum on that list that you have, if it's local to you.

    Leveled Up from 2013 to 2018 Max Platinum

    Thanks JasonH...the dealer I purchased it from was a GMC Cadillac brand (the previous Expy owner traded it in for an Escalade ESV) and so they only offered me the EG Assurance brand of extended repair plan....but it was like $4300 for only 24 months and so I declined it because I didn't think...

    Leveled Up from 2013 to 2018 Max Platinum

    This is my 4th longer model Expedition! Have owned 2007 Eddie Bauer EL (114K), a second 2007 Eddie Bauer EL (160K), and then a 2013 Limited EL (140K)....I traded in the 2013 to level up to this 2018 Max Platinum in metallic blue. It has 101K miles but it was a one owner, all dealership serviced...

    All washed and polished and looking shiny! Spacers are holding up good on the rear wheels.

    I Keep Coming Back !

    Welp.....the sawzall route didn't work for me....my tool was too bulky to get in between the 6 bolts to reach the spindle bolt for a straight cut. Ended up ordering a pair of 1/2" spacers (specific to Ford 6x135mm and not the universal type) and now the problem is fixed. The center cap now fits...

    Thank you for this brilliant suggestion!

    I Keep Coming Back !

    Sawzall with a good metal blade and let it rip? Did you have to do any sanding or filing on the bolt afterwards?

    I Keep Coming Back !

    Thanks....my guess is that the 3rd Gen probably all the same? Maybe someone else more knowledgeable can chime in.

    I Keep Coming Back !

    Hmmm the sawzall route seems interesting...knowing me, I'll probably F it up but that is an option. I didn't like the stock wheels at all...wasn't chrome, was kinda thrashed by the curb, and too many grooves to clean haha Super stoked to be in an Expy again though....unless another super...

    I Keep Coming Back !

    Then I swapped out the wheels in the pic above (was kinda curbed) for a set of wheels/Pirelli tires that were takeoffs from a 2021 F150...but the rear wheel center caps could not be put back on because the center bolt stuck out by about 5/8"...should I add a spacer to it to make it fit, or are...
