As the title says.... I broke my passenger side nozzle when closing my hood by leaving a socket wrench under the hood. I hear the crack but couldn't figure out what broke as I didn't see pieces laying around. Definitely sounded like plastic breaking.

Quick drive around and I had some bird poo on the windshield. Activate the wiper fluid and bam only the driver side worked. Popped the hood back open and I see a wet spot on the insulation under the hood and a puncture hole where my socket wrench was left. I stick my finger in and this insulation is like a wet cracker and just starting to disintegrate. In frustration I just dig my finger in and pull a chunk away to reveal the connection from the windshield wiper nozzle broke and the tubing just dumping water on to the insulation.

So here lies the rub. I want to get replacement parts but nothing on autozone.com is giving me a replacement so I am opting to order the OEM from the dealer supply. Figured if I doing one might as well do two.

Looks fairly easy but has anyone had any experience / tips to make it easier or maybe the tool need to pinch properly to get the nozzle out?

Also this insulation under the hood seems to be only for sound and not heat. I am opting to not worry about it and put some aluminum tap over the exposed areas where the nozzles sit to give some type of heat protection to the tubing.

I know for my Dodge Journey I got replacements on Amazon, a pair for around $15. No, not OEM, but fit, worked and looked like OEM. Took longer to open the hood then replace them. They were held on by 2 built in clips. Squeeze the sides,push up,out they came. Not sure about Jeep, but they sure look the same! Try Amazon…

It looks simple enough and I have looked on amazon also but found them at a local dealer for $13 a piece. Wife works less than two blocks from there so she is getting them today after work and I will be replacing just the one for now tonight.

I think you need a tool it is a pair of pliers looks like a fork within a fork they are thin to go under the tab when you squeeze them they separate I got one in a interior tool kit that I bought on Amazon. The kit is called Poraxy that is the name on the case i havent used it yet but it sure sounds like what would be needed here. The outside fork presses against the insulation the inside fork pulls down on the tab.

You need a pushpin removal tool they are available on amazon I got mine on Amazon it is called Poraxy it is a interior removal kit it comes with the tool they look like pliars but with two forks when squeezed they separate and pull the pushpin out.
