Question Removed my hard top for the 1st time. Got a question!

We had some nice weather yesterday but wasn't very warm 2C (around 36F) and decided testing the homemade cart I build for my hard top.

So, what do you do with the wiper hose and electric cable once you removed everything? Any special place where you can hide them?

Visually inspect all the gaskets. You may have pinched or torn one.

Plug the end of the hose with a screw / bolt or golf tee if you lost the little plug thingy. When the tank is full or using the front wipers the rear will lose fluid either by syphoning or the action from the front.

I know on my 12' it has an one way valve so once it drains to it it won't lose any more washer fluid

I lifted the piece of plastic trim and tucked the entire 2 pieces in there.
