re-locating the washer jets?

I just put on my AAR Cuda-style hood, and Id rather leave the washer jets off of the hood. Has anybody ever re-located the jets to like the wipers themselves or anything like that? I'd love to get some ideas...I don't think it would be too hard?

Lets see... I know in my wife's Cavy she had the wiper jets on the wipers themselves, I wonder if you could check into finding some new arms, and whatnot and see if they transfer????? sounds like it could... just take off the cavy arms, attach them to the neon motor... ?

Yeah, that might work. What year is her Cav? 95-04?

I tried all of that. Never worked. The shape of the arms are compeltely different.

I asked about this a year ago, no one ever had any good ideas. I just ended up removing the whole windshield washer jet system.

I use ones from a Chev Beretta after I put my Kaminari hood on. Works good, I just had to rerun the fluid lines though which was no biggie.

I just left mine off when i switched to a CF hood. I bought a little folding window wiper/sponge like you find at gas stations, but usualy i just use one of the stations'... if my window is that dirty, I just squeegee it off.

ohhhh yes I suppose that makes sense. I don't see why you can't make it work on the arm... you need do run the lines up through the arm itself, but that should be possible...

...I just went outside and looked.

1. There's a little over a quater of an inch gap around the shaft comming out of that plastic cover (the one underneath the windshield -- it's held on by torx screws). SO there's enough room to route a fluid hose through there, and right into the armature of the wiper.

2.If you get the right size hose, you can then run it through the *middle* of the wiper arm's tension spring, and out to the business end of the wiper.

3. take a stock squirter, and epoxy it on the underside of the aiper arm, pointed at a 45-degree angle towards the passenger side (when wipers aren't moving) for the driver's side wiper, and the reverse for the other arm.

I bet that would work!
