The fluid hose to the windshield sprayers has been cut. I am not excalty sure how but anyways I have made a temp fix with ducktape since there is enough slack to connect to the two. I've only done this becasue it is winter here and the roads are very slushy and messy and I need to clean my windows. Anyways I'm ordering a new hose but when I was looking for the connection in the engine bay it appears to run behind the left side fender on the inside and connect to the fluid chamber from underneath? I really hope that I dont have to take the front quarter panel off to access this hose to change it. Does anyone know about this?

Not sure about the access but you could try a small plastic union found at a hardware store and insert a new section of hose between two unions. Not sure if I can find out with what I have available how that comes apart.

Suggested Repair

Splice in a new section of washer hose using small plastic unions from a hardware store, rather than removing the front quarter panel if the factory routing is hard to reach.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Prelude has a cut windshield washer hose and made a temporary duct-tape repair. They believe the hose runs behind the left inner fender to the reservoir and want to avoid removing the front quarter panel. The expert is unsure of the access but suggests joining a new hose section with plastic unions.
