    A couple of weeks back, the pressure of the rear washer dropped dramatically. On opening the boot, I could see water dripping down the seal of the boot and boot lid. I found that the corrugated hose had snapped. The point of failure was inside the rubber hosing next to the right hinge of the boot lid. Does anyone have any recommendations on how best to repair the snapped corrugated hose. I was thinking about a male-to-male hose connector, any other ideas?

    Sounds ok but I would look for what caused the break, chafing, flexing or something else. You may be better using two connectors and a tougher piece of hose at the point of wear, assuming you have enough access to cut the original hose for a reasonable length away from from the break.

    I just used some standard washer hose. Cutting out the bad section and using T pieces to rejoin. Its very common.
