Fix for this loom tubing?

[Discobee]

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 fix for this? I was thinking of just bringing both ends as close as possible and then wrapping waterproof tape around it. But I wanted to ask the forum for any other suggestions if anyone has experienced the same, thanks.

Can I ask why ?

Just curious, that's all, cause I may have a solution for the OP

So, is that black the actual fluid hose or just the conduit that the hose travels through? My feeling is that thats the black conduit the washer fluid hose travels through, although I dont see the severed ends of it popping out

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.

Can I ask why ?

I was headed down the path of "that tube is split loom for holding wires and not the actual fluid tubing". Then I realized I was wrong.

Well I don't recall ever seeing that type of loom being used to carry fluids, but OTOH, I have seen stranger things

However, the solution I was referring to is going to sLowes or Home Despot & find a brass or Stainless Steel coupling (or a short piece of nylon/brass/copper/ss tubing) that fits snugly inside the loom, and use 2 small hose clamps to secure it on each end.

These items can be found in the plumbing section where they sell the tubing for Ice Makers ect....

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.

pretty sure there's a hose inside that loom. you need to fish out the ends of that hose and splice them together, the loom is just mechancial protection
