Ive noticed on a lot of cars on ebay that you almost always see them with the headlight washer jets missing, :'( They have either been nicked or fallen off somewhere, >:(
Now the question is, How in the hell do you stop people nicking them or falling offf the car??
Anyone
-
Araldyte?
And just hope they never go wrong
-
That's the trouble with them, too easy to take off, thats why i bought a GLS ::)
-
my car had this issue before i got it - and seeing as they havent fallen off i presume its thieves that take them......superglue, araldyte.....electric curent though them.... :-X

I knew a guy once wired up his car to a spare battery to shock any would be intruders - just as well he was stupid and never got it to work. :-/

They come off because when it gets cold, the water in the tube ends freeze, then when you use them the pressure behind the ice pushes them off!!
I speak from experince after thinking someone was nicking mine untill i saw one go airborne whilst doing 70ish mph on the A12 last winter!!
Ive now bought 4 in total at a cost of over £140 (£33+vat after discount from Vxl)
Think ive found a solution in Trembond 380, a posh exterior industrial Gripfill :)

I am aware of the legal requirement to have the washers if your car is equipped with HID.
BUT – I hate them… the washers give a massive squirt of water all over the bonnet, which drains the washer bottle like there is no tomorrow and leaves your car looking like it’s front end has been dipped into a very large cup of tea. So much so that I make a point of switching off the headlight before using the windscreen washers (scary stuff when driving on the motorway at night :D)
-
Ever thought about coating them in that wet paint that never dries.
Bit of a s*d for cleaning .
Just a THOUGHT!!!!!!

Cant you adjust the jets so that the water dont go so high over your hood??
