Remove the nozzles from your original hood. Measure the placement of the originals very carefully. Make a paper tracing if you have to. Drill holes in the cf hood in the exact same place, shape and size as the original and install nozzles.

Reason: the micro-jets are positioned exactly for your windshield and wipers. It can be a real pain to adjust them. Often you end up making the nozzle hole too big and the fluid sputters out instead of sprays evenly.

If you are planning on selling your old hood with nozzles, go to the junk yard or dealer and buy replacements and put back in your original hood.

I use them all the time. Especially now during lovebug season. Don't know how you can live without them.

Buy some aftermarket squirters and mount them on the trim piece that houses the wiper motor/lower windshield trim. Or, go old school style and mount some squirters on the wiper arms themselves, near the wiper blades.
