R50/53 Headlight Washer Cover and Nozzle Question
Headlight Washer Cover and Nozzle Question
So I've owned my 2003 MCS for a couple weeks now, and just encountered my first problem.
Driving back from Oregon, I drove through a gigantic swarm of bugs on the highway. I engaged the windshield washers, which was helpful - but not enough to actually clear the windshield. So I pulled over at the next exit to clean the windshield - and noticed that the driver's side headlight windshield washer cover was now missing.
(Check out the attached photo of the bug apocalypse and missing washer cover.)
A little inspection revealed that the tip of the washer nozzle appears to be missing as well - and now water shoots straight out in front of the car.
This is a pretty frustrating thing to have happen so soon after I bought the car. The cover appears to be a cheap and easy replacement. But it looks like the washer nozzle costs about $100.
Does anyone know if I can just buy the washer nozzle tip? Or is it a one piece assembly (and mine just broke)?

Here is the driver side washer jet and the chrome cover. If the washer jet is intact it will look like this part on the tip. The chrome cover has amount to it.

Thanks for the photos and links.
My driver's side washer nozzle is missing the tip - the last bit at the front that the cover clips onto.
I wasn't sure if the tip was an independent, removable part or a molded piece of the whole assembly. It looks like the nozzle is all one piece in the photo. Is that correct?

The nozzle is an all in one piece. The only thing that is separate is the chrome cover which has that piece that snaps onto the washer nozzle head.
Thanks
Thanks
