wow, nearly $200! Does anyone actually use these things? I used mine once and it was by accident. Had no idea what was going on, just saw a mist of something shooting by my drivers side window. Maybe you could replace the hole with a row of led's like the audi's. just an idea.

Yes, they are high dollar and that is for just one side.

I believe they are programmed to go spray after so many pulls on the windshield washer switch.

Totally useless in my opinion and obviously a part that can be vandalized pretty easily.

You could always buy the triangles that do not have the opening cut in for the nozzle. This would be the route I would go at this point.

They spray, but only when the headlights are on.

I lost two of my nozzles a couple years ago.

What happens, is that the water in the nozzles freezes, and cracks the plastic that holds them in place. Next time you use them, they eject!!!!

I ended up buying two new sets from sunset porsche in Oregon.

I never use the feature either, but hated having extra holes in the front of my car.
