Pop the old one out, pop the new one in. Can't really get any easier.

Well, I beg to differ. Getting the old one out can be a bit fiddly, I just cut the plastic tab that holds it to the underside of the bonnet. As to getting the new one in the "trick" is to realise that you have to put the head through from the underside of the bonnet out to the outside, then pull it back to snap it into position. Its a bit of trial and error, but you'll get the orientation to allow this quick enough.

I didn't do any of that. I just popped them out then popped the new ones in. Nice and simple

That's weird I replaced all three of mine and just popped them out and in with no problems

I took my hood insulation off. If anything it helps the washer fluid from freezing.
