Padgett Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 What is this thingie ? (93 GTP) The nipple broke off the windshield washer pipe that goes through this device on the firewall. Thing is I can't find it in the parts book or service manual. Can I just drill a through hole where the nipple was and run a small pipe through it or is it something complicated that I'll damage ?

Imp558 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Did you pop it apart to see what it is? Just looks like a dress cover for a feed through bushing or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Its some sort of sealed component, I broke mine off like you years ago and that thing has something to do with the water cannons other than provide a pass through. There is no disconnecting it anywhere and I meant to trace the wires way back when but never did. Since I pulled the reservoir years ago as well to get at the battery I just left it alone and do the rain-x and squeegee thing. I sort of took mine apart and everything inside is incased in a block of silicone. It would be real easy to bypass this thing but I don't know if it serves a function for the fluid, it appeared to on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Dunno either I have not removed it yet but is too big just to be a pass-through. Odd thing is that I find no mention in the wiper section of the service manual nor in group 10 of the P&A. BTW what is the trick to removing the wiper cover ? I removed the six screws on the leading edge but something is still holding it. Edited March 21, 2016 by Padgett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I had this problem and tried to get couple at the junk yard. They were all so brittle that they broke. I finally drilled a hole in the cowl next to it to run the line through and feed the windshield washer system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 That is pretty much my conclusion. I put rain-x in the washer so like it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurkey Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 what is the trick to removing the wiper cover ? I removed the six screws on the leading edge but something is still holding it. Some info here. Might be helpful for wiper-transmission cover removal. http://www.w-body.com/topic/51442-1992-lumina-windshield-wiper-washer/?hl=%2Bwindshield+%2Bwiper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Well I drilled through the thin piece next to the bolt (where word "nipple" is on photo). Used some ridged thick-wall plastic tubing to tie rubber hoses on both sides together, working fine in testing. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
