As long as you can still get water onto the windscreen safely and securely then it's not a problem. Some cars/vans have the washers built into the wiper arm.

mk3 fiesta? theres two holes in the scuttle panel that could be used if for some reason you didnt want to cut the bonnet...or run the washer jet hose up the wiper arm with a stop end in it and some small holes along the hose to let the water out
