Windshield Washer Fluid leak

[KMeloney]

The picture is the lower RH corner - removing the rear floor console and then the side panel trim will show that area in the picture.

You won't feel dampness in the carpet if it's leaking at that point. Your floor area below your floor console will fill up with washer fluid though, but there's a ledge between that area and the carpet in the 3rd row so it won't leak into there.

Take out the floor console - if yours is a standard length, there's two large plastic nuts to remove and then the console comes out (4 if it's an XL length). Then you'll see the underside and if any washer fluid is leaking into that area. To get access to the hose as shown in my picture you just need to remove the plastic trim around the 3rd row speaker, the tie-down for the cargo net + anchor and then you can pull the sidewall trim away from the cab and get to that hose.

Thanks again for this. Was going to give this a whirl yesterday, but didn’t know just how much of the side panels I’d have to remove to access the tubing. Do I just need to pull enough away at the D-pillar to find the hose? Or do I have to remove the side panels completely? And, do I just need to remove the rear passenger side side panel, or could the tube be running up the driver’s side D-pillar? Thanks!

The D-Pillar trim piece that does not have the speaker and is up near the headliner needs to come off first. Just pull it away from the body. The trim with the speaker in it has one 7mm head screw that needs to be removed, then pull it away from the body.

Once those two pieces are removed, remove the cargo net hook from the sidewall trim along with the D-Ring anchor. You can then pull away the large sidewall trim piece and get access to what I showed in the picture. There is no washer fluid line on the driver's side.

Thanks. It's below freezing here, and so I'm letting the dealership fix this tomorrow (and having them do the Super Cruise map update at the same time).
