Rear washer bottle questions :confused:
 
Just curious about the rear washer bottle plumbing for my 1993 touring, since it was missing except for the engine bay windshield portion when I received it.
Can anyone who disassembled or reassembled a US touring model tell me what rear washer bottle water line connections are standard?
I aware of the clear water line running from the rear hatch bottle along the driver's side and then up the B pillar to the rear hatch window spray nozzle.
Are there any black rubber hoses that are supposed to run next to the driver's side wiring harness and then thru the firewall or not?
A Canadian model I saw, had three joined black rubber hoses, (Two supposedly going to the front headlamp washers and I don't know where the third line was supposed to go). Maybe the Canadian model has no front washer bottle ?, I don't know. All I know for certain is that my US touring model has a firewall stopper plug where the 3 lines would pass thru the firewall, right next to the driver side footwell portion of the front harness on the Canadian version I saw.
The only references I could find in the FPM or FSM is the front bottle and windshield washer line in section 3-L8 of the FPM. Searches came up empty.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out with this.

As far as I know...

US/Canadian cars have a small tank in the trunk used only for the rear hatch and another tank in the engine bay for the front windshield.

European/JDM cars have a larger tank in the trunk. It's actually made up of two tanks joined under the hatch lock I can't recall I'll have to check but I think they have like three or four pumps in this tank. They do not have a tank in the engine bay so they have the three hoses running through the whole car and out of the firewall. I know for sure (I just looked) that two go to the head light washers there is an F shaped plastic thing right after the fire wall in the wheel well which has the two hoses attached to it coming from the car (inside) and a larger diameter hose running from this thing to the headlights, and one goes to the front windshield washers/sprayers (on the hood).

I would just get a small tank that was probably origionally in the car since you have a plug where the lines go on the EU/JDM cars. It's probably a lot easier than taking apart half of the interior and running hoses through the whole car.
