They don't take snap rings. There are clips that lock the on. That is why they rip like yours did. there is a trick to getting them off in one piace, Some of the AC models they had a plastic lock strap built in and they were more durable. But the hoses are different sizes
Someone posted a DIY fix using shopvac hose on here, do a search and save some $$
I scribbled down the part number from that thread, Lowes 9050311 but that is as far as I got.

Any good auto parts store sells that hose . I've bought it many times. Just bring a piece in to make sure you get the right stuff and size
If I am seeing your hose correctly, yours is much like mine- the hose actually "tapers", it is 2" at one end and 2 1/4" at the other end. No one makes a replacement hose like this. All "replacement hoses" are 2" and some come with an adapter. Yes, most are attached with a clip that makes it almost impossible to remove without tearing the hose. This is why it is so hard to find good replacements. The example you are showing with the little plastic 'latch" was used on some models, but not as common.

Wow. As always great response, and thank you for the corrections, tips, and how to articles. I will poke around the repair and how to articles this weekend when I have some time to work on my Duster, and If I cannot affect a repair I will contact the seller and arrange shipping.
Thank you all for the prompt information.
