Winshield washer Nozzle help
The issue is that on my 2001 CLK55 the driver side washer nozzle needs to be replaced because the tang that holds it place on the hood has broken. Also, the little nipple on the end of the fluid hose that fits into the underside of the nozzle assembly has broken as well and does not make a good seal so the fluid sprays all over the underside of the hood..The problem is that I have to now buy a whole new hose that connects to the reservoir as well as the nozzles costing $150 form the dealer.. 
I already bought the nozzle and that was $50, steep but, whatever.. i just cant stomach another $150 for a tiny little piece of plastic that has fractured.. has anyone else had this problem and/or come up with a solution to fix it? Also, where can i find part numbers for these items?
