    Is there any way of repairing the hose for the windshield wipers that rests over the cowl? It snapped and is a pretty clean break so idk if there is like some sort of nylon repair kit or what. I tried to use some heat shrink tubing on it but it didn't work for long.

    most of the time they have some scraps laying around, ask to take a few chunks out to test fit them. if they charge you for 2 inches of vac line id be surprised really.

    I'm cool with a few guys at the autozone I usually go to. I'll go there and check it out since I went to another one when I went to go look for the quick fix. If they try to charge me, i'll them to go shove it. Haha.

    vac hose is like a buck a foot, so 20 cents for 2 inches? plus tax? lol

    pretty sure 1/8 is what will fit nice and tight.
