Listen to what Don Coffey said above about the black plastic clips...they are too easy to snap off (they are located on the connection of the washer fluid tube to the vent assembly)
I've got about 3 vent hood threads going... how did you remove the vents (ie disconnect the hose and heater or the whole nozzle)???
