      It's encouraging when I don't feel like I ask stupid questions. Thank you.

      BTW New baby means less festy tinker-time... I haven't done this yet, but I will... soon.

        You can release the nozzle from inside the hood by squeezing the two ears that keep it in place. It's not easy to see or reach (I use a piece of metal tubing or needle nose pliers). The jets do articulate (ie they can be aimed by moving them with a pin or stiff wire) but often they are stiff or seized. Many different cars use similar or identical setups so scavenging one from a wrecker is often just as easy and then you'll learn how to remove one without breaking the ears.

          Technically, the only time it's a stupid question, is when it's not asked!
          That being said...then of course you got the guys who want to know why "throwing a turbocharger" on a festy or an aspire will not make their car "like" an Mitsubishi EVO VIII right? Or this one "I ran over something/slammed into a curb with my car today, and my very first instinct when I got home is to scamper onto the internet and ask everyone "what do you think i damaged because it's making ________ sounds/noises?

          Reason baby, it's not just for thinkers. I'm not a clever guy, but I always think " what would a clever guy do" and then I try to do that.

                I laughed all the way thru this thread! :p

                It is so cool to know that the little black bump on my hood can actually be adjusted!
                I have the Nisson wipers on mine and the stream blasts right into the right side wiper.

                .... I'm a goin' outside to the car now.

                  Push-pins work to adjust the nozzles. I sprayed with a little Blaster (my new standby) first, and after a little stickiness it was back and forth, spray...aim, spray...aim. Now it's perfect! Thanks guys!
