      Did the Smart nozzle require any mods to install? Is it a tight/OE fit?

        Mods are required. It's .397" at the base (presumably for a big squirt).
        The barb size is identical. I will need to cut a .062" rubber gasket. I will practice on a piece of sheet metal. I will start with 10mm and 13/32" holes. I will then determine if I need to file a couple of small flats top and bottom after deburring. I will try the hole later this week.

          Does anyone know what the thickness of the sheet metal is for the bonnet?
          Just grab a pair of shears and a vernier caliper or micrometer. Thanks.

            I'd like to know where you plan on aiming the third nozzle. I have on occasion re-aimed my OEM one (using a safety pin) to shoot over the roof. If you do a lot of highway driving this is handy and is a sure way to attract attention when standing still on a hot day.

              The most expensive washer nozzle I have ever seen. If I purchased two of them, they would be worth more than what I originally paid for my Festiva!


              I am going to order a large Smart nozzle to see if it could be adapted.
              I already have the rubber gasket material.

                Went to Mercedes Benz Downtown Toronto dealership. I should have taken some pics. What a view! All the Smart cars, antique Mercedes, Maybach and other Mercedes with sticker prices of $200K+. The parts department is on the fourth floor. I bought a 1995 Smart washer nozzle. The barcode part number is 110121KQ4. I will have to do spray tests before I decide on which one of these cannons I will install.

                  Yeah, I would like to know which one to get, and what is required to install one.

                  I am getting sick of these cheap Festy ones not working, and the cheap autoparts store ones are just as bad.

                    What do you think? I haven't enlarged the hole to make it flush. Do you think it looks like a big wart?

                          Ha, ha, ha! I put the low profile Smart nozzle on yesterday and adjusted the three nozzles to their limits. When it first squirted, it missed the windshield completely. It shot where cars would be on either side, as well as right over the top! I almost couldn't believe it. Nice.

                            Very cool! What's the part # and year range for the low-pro nozzle?
