Europeans must have a different set of OEM nozzles on their hoods then, that's all I can think of.

To get the OEM ones off, you pull off the hose, look at it, see the clips that hold it in place, compress them, push it out.

There was no way I could compress those things and get them out man. So I just cut the tabs off with wire snips. And the new ones fit right in. Only problem is they get washer fluid on the hood before they even hit the windshield and they hit the wiper arm but if I raise them anymore they shoot over the roof.

All 4 sets I've put on clipped right out. I had to use some channel locks to do it, but it worked.

As for aiming, use a fine wire or a needle, and put it in the nozzle.

With gentle pressure, move the nozzle, and then remove the needle. Have someone inside the car test it.

May take awhile, but all of mine aim perfectly.

I used a needle when I did it. They aim easily, there's just no sweet spot. It's either over the roof or hitting the wiper arm and it get's on the hood right in front of the nossel no matter what.

Might want to use something longer then, these have more than just 2 positions, hood or roof.

BTW, don't forget, you want them rather low on the windshield, otherwise you'll miss most of it when you use them at speed.
