Once compressed, firmly grip the nozzle at the top and pull it away
Step 5:
Carefully insert the new washer nozzle into the top of the hood, applying gentle pressure until it snaps securely into place.
Step 6:
After inserting the washer nozzle, double-check from inside the hood to ensure that the tabs are firmly gripping the hood
