headlamp washer nozzle
« on: 26 December 2009, 17:02:55 »
My Drivers side washer nozzle has mysteriously disappeared :(

Is re-fitting (assuming I get one this year) straightforward or does it mean taking off the whole f****ing bumper?  >:(
I have an Irmscher front bumper with the headlight trim attached to the bumper (with the hole for the washer nozzle on it) which is why I ask

Is washer nozzle disappearance common?

Cheers
Matthew

They push in from the front and yes they get nicked/pop off with the pressure. When you come to replace it I'd suggest a few spots of super glue before you do but make sure both halves are spotlessly clean and dry beforehand. :y

They are a shocking price new from VX, if I recall...  Someone mentioned 40 quid or something crazy?  Thats why so many 'disappear' from parked cars.....

They can and do pop off this time of year when they freeze

They do also get stolen, but if its icy, that would be my 1st bet.

I lost one last year in the ice, but knew where I has washed, and found it in about 5 mins on the way home  :y

bit of glue doesnt hurt  :y

On the facelifts, they are about £35 a go primed ready for painting. Mind you I think they look OK unpainted.

Don't know anything about the nickability factor on facelifts though.

I wouldn't be surprised if it came off in the cold now that I've heard from folk. Trouble is I cant remember where it've come off.

Cheers anyway.

Super sticky freeze resistant glue seems to be the order of the day.................. ;D ;D
