Headlight Washer
« on: 24 October 2008, 01:35:53 »
Hey All,

Sorry it seems all I ever do is post help topics!

When the lights are on and I use the screenwash, the headlight washes both then pop out and do there thing. Trouble is the passenger side headlight washer, doesnt retract back. It will stay extended out. So when I finish my journey I then have to slide it back into place.

Anything come to mind?

Silicon spray, or I believe a bit of spray furniture polish can also do the trick.

Only one of mineworks, & that tends to stick out after use! I think the other must 'wash' the inside of my front bumper.  ::)

One of mine does does that, I assumed it was a broken catch, I never imagined for a minute they were meant to pop out and slide back!!!!

Could it be a blockage causing a vacuum preventing it from retracting?
