After a lot of test-squirting yesterday, I found a puddle on the tonneaux directly beneath the 3rd brake light. Which inclines me to think the pipe's come off. It took some doing, made extra fiddley because this one has a spoiler, but eventually I got in there today to find the pipe firmly attached. But still nothing comes out.

I removed the pipe, but still no sign of water. So two questions; Where is the water going? And what was the source of the puddle?

I can't see any other way water could've formed that puddle without revelaing it's source. Headlining is all clear. It's a mystery.
Did you try disconnecting the hose and trying it then? Maybe the nozzles are blocked? Makes it easier to trace the problem from the back of the car to the front
