Headlight Washer Caps??

Post by Sit » Thu Nov 02, 2017 10:04 pm

So i noticed today that in the last 24hrs my passenger side headlight cap has come off leaving an unsightly hole! Don't know how the hell it came off???  :'( I think looking at whats left behind they just 'snap' onto the arm part in the bumper - can anyone confirm???

With regards to replace I found this which I have to assume is correct and will just need painting when it arrives -

Feeling a bit like a stalker here, but seems like you're having the same issues I had. I used this vid for headlight washers, very detailed.

Same as you, now you see it, now you don't! best guess now living somewhere on the M25. I know mine was sticking open every now and again so that's probably what did for it.

When I get round to it I may make a tether out of fishing line so at least it will just dangle rather than be gone forever.

Also check Realoem for the BMW part number if that helps.
