Cold and no windshield fluid?

Does anyone know what the TSB fix actually does? I see they replace the entire hose, but does it still have a check valve or is it eliminated?

Whether its a new hose and straight coupler, or a redesigned checkvalve....

I've seen these before but I've also heard nightmares from it as well. Some are the units overheating a burning up, which is why GM discontinued using them, but I think that's been fixed. The worst is when it's really really cold; You spray hot water on a really cold windshield, bam, cracks everywhere from the rapid expansion of the glass. It's like the opposite of putting a hot plate in a sink of cold water.
Just a suggestion to get around the living in the cold parts of North America issue.

Ok, sorry if this is obvious and I’m just missing it – When you remove the check valve (Thanks Todd for the pics) what part do you drill out on it? Or if you remove it all together, how do you connect the 2 hoses back together?
I had mine in for an oil change yesterday and asked them to do the TSB but parts are backordered. I’m taking an ice fishing trip and really would prefer my washer fluid to be operational. Thanks guys.

If you removed it all together, the hoses would not be connected. Again, see the pictures in post #12.

Look at picture #4 in post #12, the one where he looks through the valve. Now pickup your valve and do the same. You can't. Why? Because there is a check valve in the middle. Drill it out, then pickup the valve and look through it again. Now you can see. Done.
