you gotta like pinch it with needle nose pliers to press in the "hooks" it does suck tho i need to take mine down and clean it

Good news - Partsource has the clips and they're reasonably priced.

Bad news - broke every one of the fokkers and the cost to replace a washer nozzle (which is what started this whole project) is +/- $30.
$30 for that little piece - what a load of ****!

Was this just to replace the washer nozzles? I managed to do both on the Magnum by just removing like 2 of the clips and getting a little dirty reaching underneath the insulator pad.

Oh well, at least you sourced the new clips cheap.

Yup, and I wanted to see what else was under there as I need to hide some wiring for a small LED worklight that I have mounted in the hood and possibly clean the material. Next time, I will just remove the few clips required.

So...how does one normally clean the underhood fabric?

 

[Hal'sMag]

Simple Green-gentle rinse - repeat - repeat - repeat.
Air dry
Reinstall - and never do it again.

Anyone know of a different type of material could be used, that would still provide some sound insulation, and be wipe cleanable?

I've seen it on older customized vehicles, but haven't sourced it.

Thanks. Actually, if you could get some thin vinyl and sprayable contact cement, you could just wrap the original material with the vinyl. If it was thin enough, it would assume all the contours of the original piece and would be easy to wipe clean.

I did this with some black vinyl I got from a fabric store. The damn thing stays clean and if it does get a few spots on it ,simply wipe off. Makes the under hood look soooo much better.

Sweet! Now I have to add that to the project list and it would probably be a relatively inexpensive mod!

So good end to the story. The washer nozzle was only $20 (Thanks AdamC!) and I found push pin type fasteners for $0.78 each at Partsource - I think Advanced Auto Parts for you're guyz in the US.

Howd you break the washer nozzle? I was power washing and I think I may have broken it as the driver side doesnt spray and the passenger side just trickles....

 

[BryGuy]

The nozzle cracked so it was leaking fluid onto the insulation mat each time it was used. Not sure what caused the crack but if I had to guess, I would say a snow brush.

 

[Cats_Eye]

Hmm... the nozzles seem fine, maybe I blew a connector off? getting under the insulation is a PITA x.x...

 

[BryGuy]

Pull the hood mat off and start there.
