2011 Turbo - rear window washer line routing?

Turns out that a car brought from Atlanta Georgia to the cold northeast mid winter is likely to freeze the windshield washer fluid. Apparently they just use the Porsche soap solution and water in Atlanta.

 

The front line thawed out and at least the windshield washer works fine (dunno on the headlight washers - yet) - but the rear window washer refuses to spray anything. I've been leaving the P!G in the semi-heated (above freezing) garage overnight, and after several nights it still hasn't thawed out.  Don't see any sign of leaking, but I could be missing that.

 

Does anyone the routing of the hose going to the rear window spray nozzle? I think I want to start tracking it from the spray pump back to the nozzle and see where the problem is.

 

TIA!

Never mind.. :)

 

Started poking around, and noticed I was getting a small dribble of washer juice from the nozzle buried in the wiper arm mount. Took off the cover and looked, nothing obviously wrong. Not immediately obvious how to remove the washer jet - so I stuck a small pocket knife under an edge and twisted. It popped off and went running away on the garage floor.

 

Turned on the ignition and tried the rear squirter. Water squirted out of the hole in the center of the bolt (that holds the arm on, and that the nozzle/jet pushes over.)  Tracked down the errant nozzle assembly and noticed it appeared to have rusty gunk in it.  Took some dental tools to it, and hot water and cleaned it up. Managed to get it so I could blow through the jets in reverse - and more gunk came out. Finally it started blowing clean.. so I put it back on and tried it. It now spritz's washer fluid in the general direction of the blade.

 

Will be heading to the dealer in the AM to see if they have the jet in stock. I've found it for purchase on-line from $8 to $18. Bet it's $24 at the dealer..

 

Will report back with results when I'm done. If I think of it I'll take a few pics of R&R.
