    So was checking the hybrid battery fan and noticed this clear tube running from the back of the car under the door trim on the passenger side and into the front. First thought this was for the AC, but that should be in the front, this was in the second row passenger side. It shouldnt be the gas line and the liquid inside was clear with some sediment. Dont think the hybrid battery is liquid cooled and google search didnt show up anything. Any ideas?

    Been a long time since my Gen II. Thinking that the rear window washer line probably disappears up the hinge pillar and across the roof to the nozzle. Don't know what you found. Nobody else, either.

    I just didn't see the post. I'm going to go with rear washer. Turn the car on and run the rear washer until it squirts, then see if your clear tube shows blue (or whatever color washer fluid you use).
