Yours should look like this:

Acquired through Amazon for $77 (Mopar/ORM)! Or from your local junkyard for around $10 (pulled from an actual Caliber... or something else - go nuts).

Carefully disconnect its little hose.

The part has clips, front and back, squeeze with fingers or needle-nose pliers, and push it up through the hood.

Push the new one in (facing the right direction... yes, from experience) until it clicks in.

Carefully re-attach its little hose.

US$77.⁰⁷

My price comparison is to encourage parts acquisition from existing recycled Calibers (🇨🇦🇺🇲🇲🇽), instead of buying replacement crap from 上海市 (🇨🇳🇹🇼🇧🇩), which probably wouldn't last a whole year.

All these plastic auto-parts are 'Asian'. I would rely on Amazon to guarantee for at least a year.
This one is currently 50% off ($1.40 each)

Even changing it more often than 10 years is more convenient for most who do not hang out at breakers.

I tried taking this out using a small screwdriver; under the hood, Tee disconnected, I pried up on one of the sprayer's tabs (towards its front/windshield side). I was able to get that loose, but when I tried to pry the other tab (its back/front of car side), I ended up breaking it completely and a little piece dropped into the hood where I can't get to it.

Maybe needle-nose pliers would be better. I don't own none of that fancy shtuff.
