How to Install a Fallen Headlight Washer Cover?
2 Answers
The cover is secured with clips. After it falls off, check if it's broken. If it is, replacement is needed. Two people should cooperate: one turns on the headlights, while the other stands in front of the headlights. When the cleaning device pops out, pull it, and then clip the cover back into place.
Just fixed this myself yesterday! If the headlight washer cover falls off, don't force it. First check the back of the cover: Is the plastic clip broken? If not, it's simple—align it with the nozzle bracket gap (there's a small arrow indicating direction on the inner side of the cover) and press straight down until it clicks into place. If the clip is half-broken, don't panic—use 3M no-trace adhesive on the back for a temporary fix, but it might come off in the rain. Here's the key: After installation, test the nozzle function! Hold down the windshield washer button on the steering wheel. If the cover gets blown off by the water stream, it means the bracket is bent, causing the nozzle to protrude. In this case, you must go to a repair shop to remove the front bumper and adjust it—otherwise, even if you install ten new covers, they'll all fall off. Adjusting the bracket at a roadside shop costs around 50 yuan, which is even cheaper than buying a new cover.
