Be very careful to not damage the retainer clips, as they are very fragile. They do not require much force to remove. Once you have the weatherstripping removed from your factory hood, lay it off to the side. It will be reinstalled shortly. Install the supplied squirter nozzles with the included hardware. Make sure the tab is inserted into the indentation of the hood as shown, and that the crimped end of the squirter faces toward the rear of the hood.
Next, install one end of the squirter line onto the feed end of the squirter for the passenger side of the hood. Give yourself a nice, gradual bend toward the weatherstrip, and take your Sharpie to mark the location as shown, then make a small hole at this position. You need to take apart the original squirter feed line to re-use some of the parts. From one end, push the line into the Tee, then pull it apart carefully.
You need to remove the ferrule from the end of the line as shown. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, release the factory mount from the feed line. Take the factory feed line and thread it through the soft side of the weatherstrip until you get to the first hole that you made in Step Install one of the supplied plastic Tees into the end of the feed line as shown.
At this time, all that should be poking out of the hole in the weatherstrip on the passenger side of the car is the plastic Tee. Lay the weatherstrip with the installed hose into the back of the engine compartment. Just as you removed the old hood, set the new one into place.
Make sure you support the rear of the hood with one hand as you do this so that the endges cannot make contact with the car. Also make sure that you have the new hardware ready to be installed and handy so you are not searching for it, as well as the ratchet with the proper socket. Lift up the hood hinge and install the bolts, then repeat the process on the other side of the hood and snug them up.
During this step you may need to remove one or more of the hood bolts to insert your washers as shims, so have your helper ready to raise and lower the hood as necessary. With the hood installed, lay it flat to see where the gap is from side to side, and also up and down with the height of the fender. To do this, we inserted one washer between the hinge and the hood at the rear position. As you can see, inserting this washer brought the rear of the hood flush with the top of the fender as desired.
We also had to adjust the passenger side with two different washers to get the hood height perfect with the edge of the fender. Hood adjustment is the most time-consuming part of the whole installation process, so have patience and be careful.
The end result will be well worth it! Using the supplied bolts, run a small bead of Loctite threadlocker and install the striker to the hood. Slowly lower it into place to check whether it will latch properly. Do NOT slam it down. You may need to adjust the hood latch up or down as shown. Turn them in or out as necessary. Mount the lower support plate to the fender bolt as shown. Same with the upper mount: they can only be installed one way. The upper mount is installed under the front hood hinge bolt.
Starting at the passenger side of the vehicle, snap the weatherstrip into place across the back of the hood. Take a small piece of hose and attach it to the tee poking out of the weatherstrip on the passenger side of the hood as shown. Close the hood, get in the car, start it, and test the washer.
If the squirt pattern is not how you would like it to be, open the hood, take your pliers and wrap the edge of the squirter in the microfiber towel. Then give it a small adjustment up or down, then test again.
