Washer fluid hose failed (broke) at hood attachment point, making windshield washers inoperative. Unable to clean window during inclement winter weather conditions (salt, sand), causing reduced visibility until can be manually cleaned after stopping. Possible cause incorrect/poor routing of hose in and through body paneling, causing excessive wear and/or strain on hose when hood opened, leading to premature failure of hose.
