Your thoughts on windshield nozzle
Hey
What are your thoughts on the windshield nozzle located below the hood instead of on top of it?
I think its kind of odd!

i think it is ideally located. for a person like me that constantly cleans my car, those nozzles under the hood makes wiping easier than ever.

i used to be one of the team member who install those washer nozzles and i think it looks clean hiding under the hood.

yeah it looks cleaner being hidden under the hood instead of on top...i guess it also keeps it from getting clogged when you clean or wax the car =)

its better for a cleaner look, plus it doesn't 'see' as much road debris, weather bombardment..

Hmmm
It looks "clean"
BUT

as long as they're there and they work properly I could care less where they are placed
they're only windshield washer nozzles.

i agree, mine does that too as long as you don't let the snow accumulate over the nozzles too much you should be fine. when driving in heavy snow i'd would at least spray every once in a while to clear a path.
