headlight washer

Earlier today, motoring along I heard a "wack" as something hit my right side windshield. Glass didn't break, so I continued on... Later when I got home, I noticed that the chrome cover for the right side headlight washer was missing. As far as i can see, it was only the cover that seperated. Don't know where to begin to look for a replacement other than the dealer... Anyone had this problem, and if so, what did you do? (06 R53)

Way sells them. Good news is that they're pretty cheap and takes 2 seconds to install.

Thanks... Didn't realize it was a common problem, and will order a new cover today!

Check the nozzle, they tend to break. I had to replace both of mine recently.

Perfect Tim! If it looks like that you need a new nozzle.
