Need help !!! Idiot mistake here !
Hi guys,
so I change my hood and i unplugged all the hoses from the nozzles and everyhing, but i broke the hoses damn !!
the way I broke it ?? im such an idiot lool I forgot that I attached the hoses too one wiper blade so it was not free to move on highway because I was missing time to fix everything on the same day. so today it was raining a little and I put the wiper on ! I totally forgot, so it broke ...
now how can I fix that mistake ?
do I change the entire hoses or how can I repair this ?

I wouldn't take a chance on repairing rubber hose... Considering you could probably get the hoses to replace the ones you broke at a parts house for fairly cheap, then not worry about it again.
And don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. That doesn't make you an idiot. Just forgetful. Haha.

yeah i forget a lot !
its the first time i work on a car and it was the first time I change a hood in my life and I did it alone .. not a good idea, i need to do it again to align to hood perfectly
for information I will change both fender soon, so I was wondering if I go to the dealer and buy the complete hose with the clip and everything, take off my fender, it would be an easy repair or do I need to go too the garage to do it ?

I was thinking that taking the fender off will give me space to find where the hoses is becauseyou cant see from above the engine bay.
I will change the entire hoses but I need help to know how to change that thing

Yea, take the bad one off and replace with the new. You may need a phillips or a flat head screw driver.
Just relax, this is very entry level stuff. If you can pump gas, I'm sure you can change a "house." Just do as we all did, follow the bouncing ball. If you have snags, then report back here.

You're not going to burn the car down! Just pay close attention to how things are put together and their placement. Take pics if you have to. Just make sure you don't zip through thing and forget where things are. I would also recommend buying a magnetic bowl. They have saved my **** a few times.
