'Went to use the windshield washer the other day and nothing; the wipers did their thing, and I could hear the pump whirring, but there was no washer fluid emerging from the nozzles. A check under the hood revealed that the washer fluid hose was hanging loose on the driver's side. All the fluid that the pump was providing was coming out of the loose hose end. The failure was a snapped off hose nipple on the driver's side nozzle. Here's a view of the failed nozzle with its broken off nipple that I retrieved from the hose end, along with the new nozzle.
The nozzle's part number is 98630 2E500. (My local Hyundai dealer always asks for a VIN in order to look up a part.) Hyundai parts are not cheap; the new nozzle was $19.14 CDN + HST.
The nozzle is held in place by two claws -- one in front and one in back. The claw in front is easy enough to access to push on with a screwdriver and free. The claw in back calls for a tool that can reach in behind to pull the claw forward. A 90 degree mechanic's scribe like the one pictured below worked for me.
The new part just snaps into place in its opening in the hood. The hose goes on the nipple and you're away.
