Hi Friends,
I have an issue that keeps coming up and am hoping there is an answer to keep them (the chrome covers) from falling off. I have replaced one right side and two lefts. Is there anything I can do to insure they will not drop off? Got any good ideas?

I think the sprayers are a total waste of time even being there, but it is what it is!

 

I pulled the fuse, got the head up just a little and then put some clear silicone under-it. If I lived where there was snow and drove the car in the winter, the headlight washers would be great, but in NC do not need. You get 2" of white stuff here and the State basically shuts down.

 

Great Idea coop! I really have no use for these, I am going to do your answer!
Thanks

 

Did you check the cover clips and the jets themselves to see if the clips or jet clip in it broken? That way they dont fall off.

I have replaced even the whole unit on the passengers side (washer unit) and it lost the cover again. I think it is a silly un needed option, so I will just pull fuse and silicone them, as r53coop has suggested.
I have owned other cars with headlight washers and all have been a useless waste of time to me.
Thanks for your tip though.

 

The cover finally arrived from Ebay. I looked at the actuator and it is broken. Thought I had and extra, but it is broken also. I may just remove them and glue in the covers. (as stated in the beginning)

 

I bought mine with the drivers side broken and I didn't even realize it. But I don't care as I agree with you they are a useless option even up here where we get snow. I've had a bunch of Mercedes and Porsche with them and I don't really see the value. I will do the same and take out the fuse and silicone...that's a good idea!.

 

I've actually been thinking of repurposing the washer reservoir as a water/methanol tank myself! It's already seperate from windshield washer fluid, which is nice because I'd be able to retain the windshield washing function.

That, or add some soap and use the washers as bubble blowers...

 

I had thought about that too!
Just not sure what pressure it would need

 

 

That stinks its broken.
