Broke a W/S washer nozzle

OK, not a real big deal but a first for me. I've been driving for about 50 years and Ford trucks since 1976 and never had one break, After looking for the parts was surprise to see on eBay that literally thousands have been sold by these sellers

I usually wash the underside of the hood every spring to get rid of the winter road salt and this year broke one off. They ARE brittle!. Since it broke off inside the connector, decides to use the Ford kit BC3Z-17K605-B 1X ($25) which has the hose assembly and the two nozzles BC3Z-17603-A 1X. You can also get just the nozzles in a single or double pack, 1X or 2X ($10 or $19). You can also buy some really cheap Chinese knockoffs on eBay or Amazon but most of those have too many poor reviews.

Super easy change out with the only tool needed is a pair of pliers to compress (actually break off )the squeeze tabs. The new just snap in place. Hook up the connectors on the hose to the nozzles and the w/s washer tube, snap the new Christmas tree clip in place and 10 minutes later - job is done.

A couple notes - the supplied w/s washer tube connector didn't fit on my '11 so hooked it up as it had been - cut the connector off and just slipped the tubing on the washer tube. I suspect that connector arrived after my truck build. I also added a second Christmas tree clip from my odds and ends to a nearby hole to hold the extra wobbly slack.

Now, if the needed serpentine belt was that easy ......

I had one break on a 2011 last year. While at the dealer parts counter someone else came in and bought a pair.

BC3Z-17K605-B does not actually include the nozzles. It is just the hose. Some sell the hose and nozzles as a kit it seems but not under the BC3Z-17K605-B part number.

Wrong!. Since I read that number directly off of my package and it had the two nozzles factory sealed insi, I am absolutely sure of what I ordered and installed. It may be the 1X suffix that adds the nozzles and makes it a kit
