Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, so it isn't a tragedy, but one of the silver plastic covers to my headlight washers broke. It has some flimsy attachment points that are sheared. I'm tempted to just superglue the piece back on (or at least see if that will work). Thing is, I can't figure out how to get the washer to lift up without spraying. They're pretty tight in there and I'm hesitant to force the unit up. Any suggestions appreciated.

POST 2Original post

That's a new one for me... good luck. You may want to try to post the question on www.renntech.org

POST 3Original post

Hey, go for something different. why not glue on little statues of mannekin pis facing backwards. That would at least make the headlight washers useful, at least in an artistic kind of way . . .

POST 4Original post

Pretty common actually, from what I understand. Are you still under warrenty? If so, it should be covered. If not, I believe you have to replace the whole sprayer unit.

POST 5Original post

I've got this!!! IT happened to me, get a partner. Go buy the washer piece from the dealer, its about $46.00USD and comes with the nozzle. Remove the silver cover from the nozzle and position it over the headlight washer hole. Have your partner spray the headlight washer and voila!! the headlight washer cover will snap back onto the nozzle. Here's why you don't want it to be covered under warranty; my dealer told me they would have to remove the front bumber. Do I look like I have time for that? Even though I had warranty left, I did it myself. Lets hear it for the non paying member ladies and gentlemen!!

POST 7Original post

I hear ya....when I brought my car in for a "check up"....my high horn was out....they had me bring back the car for the repair the next day....I had no idea that the bumper needed to be removed for that job...at least that's what they told me. CPO is coming in handy for some small stuff. J

POST 8Original post

Why on earth would you need to remove the bumper?? The whole headlight assembly is easy to remove, see manual. That triangle piece just snaps in.

POST 9Original post

Bumper does not need to be removed. It happened to me and the dealer replaced in about 20 minutes.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the advice all. I'm going to try to fix it with a friend, but without buying a $46 replacement nozzle. I still have the silver cap that is broken so I don't need a replacement - yet. We'll see. I'll update.

POST 11Original post

I still think you are missing out on an excellent opportunity to pimp your ride.
