Default Need some assistance Injen CAI

So I was able to install the CAI and one set back was that the sensor on the bottom if the windshield washer reservoir hs to be removed and placed on the new unit. It was virtually impossible to do this without damaging the grommet. I attempted to install it on the new reservoir but it's not possible to get it to fit. The instructions only mention the pump but no sensor, any suggestions and I may either have to order a new sensor / grommet from Nissan and hope that i can get it to fit into the new reservoir as the opening is a lot smaller than the oem reservoir or just plug it somehow but i don't want to Mickey mouse this install....thanks

I recently purchased a used Injen CAI and got all of the extra parts separately.

Bump for this, I am curious about this also before I install mine.

The install was smooth, unfortunately when you get around the changing of the oem from reservoir to resevoir all but the sensor fit and it's hard to remove it from the oem reservoir, i did a youtube search and a g37 install by 2 sisters shows the reservoir without the opening for the sensor...

Update, I bought a new sensor and measured both openings on the oem/ Injen reservoirs. Conclusion the opening on the Injen was .030" too small. Took a Dremel tool an shaved off the lip on the sensor and placed the grommet inside the opening/ used my body weight on a carpeted floor to push the sensor inside the reservoir and it worked, now all is good. Bottom line Injen/ vendors should make sure you're mechanically inclined to do this install. I'm happy for the feel/ sound I get when I push the Z.
Just a bad taste in my mouth and sore fingers from removing the bumper more than twice to get this done, false advertising maybe not but sure incomplete info for those who will purchase this CAI which IMHO rocks
