Astra rear washer pipe route   
The plastic feed pipe to the rear washer on my MK3 Astra has bust, anyone
know the route it takes from the engine compartment?
Is it up and over the side windows, or down and along the cill?

TIA

it usually only fails at the bendy bit by the tailgate, so just get some 
inline connectors and tubing and replace just that bit.

 runs inside the roof lining, your prolly find its bust and the tube has
disappeared further down the roof, making it a pain in the arse to get to.

Yep it's bust at the tailgate and I can't see the end, will go fishing in
the roof lining. Thanks.
