Having trouble locating the rubber tubing for my 91 C4. I am trying to maintain all the original parts, and Chev can only supply the tubing as a part of the complete wiper assembly. Any ideas, the tubing has to pass thru a clip with a hole 5/32 ( 4 m/m ) and no one has anything that small.

thanks Corveddie, I ordered that part and whilst you would think from the AutoZone web site that this is the correct size unfortunately the WV 0532 is 5/32 ( 4m/m ) but that is the inside, or hole size when I need it to be 5/32 ( 4m/m ) on the outside and 5/64 ( 2m/m ) on the inside. The original tube fits inside the Prestone tube.
The tubing is smaller than AutoZone, AutoPro, GM can supply.
Any other suggestions?

Maybe a shot in the dark.....small engine shop is where I would check, or A old fashion hardware store.

I am so happy, I have found the tube,
 
I asked Larry the Corvette Specialist mechanic ( Corvettes &  Performance Specialties at 5895 Transit Rd. Buffalo NY )who serviced my car and he pointed me in the direction of a guy who wrecks C4 vettes in Lancaster NY.
 
I would recommend Larry to any fellow enthusiast living near or in Buffalo.
