I have four holes in the top of the firewall. I want to know what fits in these holes. Are they places where parts go to hold the windshield washer hose in place

Your strut tower braces are missing. They attach there.

You can see the braces and bolts in this picture...
Strut braces are in now. That was a pic from couple of months ago. Doh!!!

There are holes on the rear edge on the underside of the hood that a clip fits into. The washer hose was attached to those clips.
Thanks Hemikiller
Anyone got pictues of clips and are they available to buy repo?

Here is some good info. There is one pic that shows the clip really well. They are about 2" long with a sight concave then the hose is taped to it.

Here are a couple pics of mine as well as a close up of the clip. I did have to abandon the portion that is inside the hood and route mine directly to the first nozzle. Hope this helps.
Are those clips available to buy repo?

These clips are not correct but look like they will hold the hose in place

I'm not sure they will push into the hole in the hood though. they look like they are square
