- Overlap the washer hose onto the plastic tubing by, 12.5 mm (0.50 in) on each end.
- Secure each end of the vacuum hose with a 100 mm (4 in) cable tie.

- Carefully slit the grommet next to the original washer hose.
- Pass the new section of the washer hose through, next to the existing grommet tubing.
- Repair the hose on either side of the grommet.

- Verify the repair by operating the washer system.
- Seal any openings in the grommet, larger than the hose that was passed through.
