Default Replacing Windshield Washer Sprayer

2014 Trailhawk. Anyone had to replace one yet, and what did you buy? Mopar wants $50, and the kit Dorman Autozone shows as compatible has the bottom connections pointing down instead of sideways. Mine got knocked off cleaning off the car before I plowed and is over in the snow pile somewhere. Looks like Mopar part # 68102968AB

For the record, these

do not work. The input piece on the bottom faces the wrong way, pointing towards the passenger side when they need to point to the drivers side. Despite some reviewers claiming the bottom part swivels, they do not. Trying to rotate that piece breaks and it pulls apart if you try. So after gluing it back together with the bottom in the right orientation, I snapped it into the hood and hooked up the hose. No leaks.... but the spray pattern mostly hits the hood and the bottom 2 inches of the windshield. Dammit. At least it's the passenger side. Maybe I should give up and pay the dealer the $30 they wanted.

Pulling the liner out from under the hood requires removing a handful of retainer clips. They do not pull back out without breaking. Just go ahead and cut them instead of fighting them and ripping the liner. I had some 1/4" push in rivets to replace them that look like this

why didn't you try going to a wrecking yard near you and taken the ones off a wrecked jeep?

wouldn't cost you more than the entrance fee unless you wanted to be honest which then shouldn't have been more then $5.

If I needing more than than, maybe worth the trip. Otherwise the nearest yard is 32 miles away 1/2-hour away ($10 in gas roundtrip), $4 fee, $2 part feet, and at least a couple hours of my time. Or a few clicks on Amazon for something that claims to be the equivalent of the Mopar part number I need.
