    Screen washer nozzle installation

    Do any of you guys have any tricks used to install the screen washer nozzles without scratching the paint? I recently bought some repors and tried to install them tonight using soapy water but it was not going to end well so I took a tactical retreat. Any help is appreciated
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Yes, I hate installing those. Were you both pulling from underneath while pushing from the top?

    I tried. I lubed them up with soapy water but they would not hook under the metal panel. I pulled from underneath but no joy

    Then start trimming some of the edge off with a razor blade. Typical aftermarket fit,,,,

    +1, but still a pain in the rear.

    You could always make the hole a bit bigger!
