Rear Washer Fluid Draining Into Door Lock Cavity?

[Ginettamad]

New car new problems!

I suspect I have a split water pipe inside my rear door somewhere as the washer works but lacks pressure but on opening the tailgate I found the leaking fluid had filled the floor catch at the bottom of the floor?

I know about the pipe joints coming apart at the front of a Gal but are there joints at the back too inside the rear door?

I Cant see an obvious way of getting the rear door cover off yet and I dont want to break any spring clips trying without finding out how its fixed in place firstly.

Has anyone any pictures of a removed rear door panel on a MK2?

The only join in the pipe in the rear door is where the pipe enters the wiper unit itself. This may be leaking, but there is a joint in the pipe behind the trim panel on the near side D pillar. The seat belt upper mount needs to come off first and then the panel pulls away from it's horrible plastic clips. You'll find the pipe there.

Got the screws all out but trim wont budge easily so I guess I'm going to have a lot of broken trim clips when I start prizing!

Water leaking into the back door so it must have partially detached or split from the wiper.

I managed to prise off from the bottom trim with enough space for me to reach up to the washer jet peg and found the pipe very loose. It pushed back on with a click and now works fine again so all sorted. I reckon the frost had forced it off even when I use additive?
