Dorman - Help Windshield Washer Nozzle Kit

I just installed these washer nozzles on my '05 PT Cruiser GT (with turbo). I wish to address some issues raised by others: 1) Installation - very simple. Remove tubing from old nozzles, remove old nozzles, slide rubber gaskets onto new nozzles, insert nozzles from above through holes in the hood, secure with nuts, insert short piece of tubing from kit onto union and the other end of short tubing onto nozzle then insert existing piece of tubing from old nozzles onto free end of union. This last step preserves the length of washer tubing already installed on the vehicle but you could optionally connect the existing tubing directly onto the new nozzles. 2) Spray Quality - These nozzles spray much more diffusely than my OEM nozzles (much more of a mist instead of a direct spray). This is not better or worse, just different. 3) Spray Aim - This seems to be a sticking point for several people. I can't speak for how well the spray aims for other vehicles, just for how it works on mine. First, these ARE adjustable. The metal key is designed to fit into the spray nozzle for adjustment. The initial adjustment requires some level of force the free the actual nozzles. Use gradually increasing force on the key until the nozzles begin to move freely. Second, the misting quality of the spray means a much greater surface area coverage is possible. This is good because it means perfect aim is not necessary. I was able to adjust mine to hit the top half of the windshield when stationary. When the care is moving, the mist tends to hit on the lower half of the windshield (but the airflow over the windshield draws the liquid up to the upper half). I think the key to good aim is the angle of the hood on which these nozzles are mounted. For the PT Cruiser it is a very good match. However, I could easily see how a different slant angle on the hood would make this a difficult proposition. I am extremely satisfied with this product upon initial installation. However I can only give it 4 stars for now because I don't know how well it will perform over time. Direct Chrysler replacement nozzles tend to last about a year on my vehicle. I've read that the turbo gives off excessive heat which cracks the plastic on the OEM nozzles. This product is made of plastic and may very likely suffer the same fate over time. If it lasts for more than a year, I'll revisit this review and update to 5 stars.

Part is shown to fit a 2001 Ford F-150. It is a universal nozzles and on the F150 sprays directly into the bottom of the windsheild. Absolutly ineffective. As a universal type part it should not be listed under this manufacture / model catagory.
