Hey everybody.
I bought an aftermarket hood but the Dumbies who installed it never put my windshield washer nozzles back on. I've never seen this hood on any other 4th gen rams so far, but I have seen it on a 3rd gen style. On the 3rd gen rams they put the nozzles in the plastic right below the windshield but unfortunately with the 4th gens the plastic isn't angled right and is too close to the windshield to beable to put them there.
I could drill holes and put nozzles there but the aftermarket hood is much thicker then the factory hoods so the clips on the nozzles are too close to beable to put them in this hood. And so far me nor anyone else can find nozzles that are the right size.
I've also tried going to an aftermarket place and got a universal nozzle kit that fits on the windshield wipers themselves but their just junk and break within a week.


Any ideas?

Sweet looking hood.

Sorry no help here on the sprayers.

How much did you pay for the whole thing, hood and install?

The new hood has marks on the inside for where the holes should be but the only problem with putting them in the hood is I cannot find nozzles with clips that are far enough apart to firmly clip to the hood. The factory hood is much much thinner then this aftermarket one.

For the hood, paint, install and shipping it was 1700$ but the shop I had gotten it from went out of business about a month after I got the hood and they were supposed to order me proper nozzles but never did :/

Napa / OReily's etc carry different washer nozzles (OE Replacements, not lame LED crap)
If I recall, they make some that have a threaded nipple (getting *****!) so that you can tighten them up to the hood then slide the hose onto them.
