DO NOT buy the washer relocation kit from CDC

the squirters for my windshield with the cervinis hood suck, so i bought the cdc relocation kit. its $55. the hoses are cut almost correctly, and the instructions are halfway decent, but the actual squirter nozzles blow big time, and do not hit the windshield, they spary all over the car. i tried moving them around and everything. im going to buy the bosch wiper arm (wet arm) nozzles for the chevy uplander, and this will fix the problem. however, i cant belive CDC sells this kit for $55 and then you have to add parts to it. you could make this kit for about 10 bucks and then it will work correctly. if anyone needs to do this, i will let you know exactly what you need.

The squirters on your hood, are those the factory ones or did Cervinis supply them?

I have the C500 hood, and the hose holders work fine for me. Wonder if it's not the same setup on your hood.

I agree those squirters suck. The instructions are marginal and the hardware is marginal at best. But with me I dont drive when its gonna rain anyhow. (rain in Nevada is as rare as a winner at a casino)I noticed the lousy spray on testing after the install..
TWO votes for DO NOT BUY!!!!!

i was going to buy this kit as well. i have a cs6 hood. bud from shelby told me that they have a nozzel kit made for my hood for 20 bucks, maybe i can go that route but i didnt really want to cut holes in the hood for this. but im really going to need wiper nozzels soon cause i live in florida and it rains a lot so the windsheild gets plenty dirty. any info on these chevy ones would be awesome. thanks

the cervinis comes with a hidden squirter setup, shoots from under the cowl, just 4 streams, like how most older cars had the washers setup.


the chevy parts are like 30 per side, it includes a whole bunch more stuff then the squirters, the guy at chevy is gonna let me check it out before i buy it. i just found this, seems like a better deal to me.

order up those nozzles in my post above, then the cdc kit works like an oem one. too bad we got ripped off on it, but with the new nozzles it works great!


here you can get some tubing to make your own, also the ryder kit i posted before comes with some clips. you could have the same setup as cdc for like 20 bucks

cdc can eat up on these nuts.

So, essentially all I have to do is replace CDC's nozzle with the one u mentioned? And the clips allow it to be attached to the stock wiper arms? That would be awesome!! Not sure why CDC gave us stickers when we paid that kind of cash.

you got it! they did it because they are trying to make like 90% profit off of that kit. i dont see why they didnt include the anco nozzles that work correctly, they are .72 cents each. the stick on hose holders cdc supplied are ok, but i could have found something similar much cheaper.

i just tried placing an order at ryder fleet products: they make you register for an account with them to make any purchase and you have to spend at least 15 dollars to make a purchase. i ordered two of the nozzels (which are special order) and two of the wet arm kits and the total comes to like 9 dollars. i cant find anything else to add to the order to make it over 15 dollars. Im not even quite sure if they will let me order since i am not affiliated with a trucking business.
