Headlight washer cover.

Post by Rich-hill » Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:51 pm

Evening all,

Last weekend the washer jet cover on my NS headlight came off.
When I inspected the washer jet in the bumper there was no sign of snapped plastic.

I've received a replacement.

On attempting to fit, I have noticed there is smeant to be another plastic piece, triangular in shape that attaches the cover to the jet, as seen on the link below.

Does anyone know where I can get this small part from or what it's part number is? So I can reattach the cover.

I look forward to the replies

Rich

Having looked online now it seems the triangular part comes with the jet, rather than the cover.

The 2 rings that hold it in place on the jet haven't split, so I'm unsure how its come away. an additional £60 to purchase the new nozzle seems a little excessive for something so small.

If it works that's a great find, I had to get another complete washer unit (used) just to get that part. Let us know if it works :thumbsup:

It seems so daft you can't buy just that part?

Once it arrives I will keep everyone in the loop
