Subject:      Rear window washer line problem

88 Vanagon Camper - In preparing for our first camping trip of the season
last week, when I opened up the rear hatch, I noticed that the small plastic
tube that conveys the WW fluid from the body to the rear hatch had snapped
in two.

Normally (or originally) the tubing and the wires to run the rear wiper are
enclosed in a little flexible sleeve - this sleeve has crumbled over the
years - rear wiper still works though.

So my question - Since the tubing seems pretty brittle and I don't think
it's under much pressure anyway, could I get away with just mending is with
some heat shrinkable tubing to connect the two ends?  If the joint leaked a
little it shouldn't matter as it would be in the 'outside channel' around
the rear hatch.

Are there any members who've made a simple repair in other ways that I
should consider?

Thanks,

John Graham
