First buy plastic rivet replacements for the underhood shield, they will break.
Second buy a set of sprayers.
Third buy a plastic rivet remove kit.
Fourth buy yourself some new windshield fluid, because you are probably replacing these because the stuff you got lost its alcohol content and is basically water so it froze and broke your sprayer heads.
Alright so, these plastic rivets suck, just pop em out with force. I tried pliers, scissors to cut em but man do they suck!
Next, unhook the rubber line as it should pop right off. To remove the spray heads you have two options, obliterate them from underneath with pliers or squeeze the clips and push up. Both I did, first one just because I squeezed too hard. It literally exploded lol. Next check out the lines as with mine it broke inside the tube so to fish em out. I took the pliers and crushed the plastic into tiny pieces. Then flushed the hose several times and they all came out.
Next pop the new heads in. Put the tubes back on and lower the hood. Test em out, if no leaks you're set! Put the undershield for the hood back on. Pour new windshield fluid in after draining out the old crap either by unplugging the hose on the bottom of the tank, spraying to really clean your windshield haha.
Lesson? Change your fluid out before it hits 40 degrees. After a summer you got water in there.
