There are two main problems with the Headlight Washer covers . 1 . They may be loose against the surface of the bumper . 2 . They often fall off or come off in your hand when cleaning etc. The following is a solution to both of these problems . The first thing to do is to remove the covers , as we know this is not a problem , but simply take hold of the cover and pull the whole washer jet out and slightly upwards , the cover will either come off in your hand or if it doesn't you can just unclip it from the jet . Next step is to remove the washer jet , you will need a piece of string and a small flat screwdriver . Loop the string round the washer jet and pull it out from the bumper , then lever the screwdriver under the ratchet tab as shown in pic 1 . the jet will come out of the main body of the washer , which will then retract . Once you have both removed , clip the jets and the covers together as they should be , they are LEFT and RIGHT handed but don't worry , they have L and R marked on the jets . (Just be aware when it comes to reassembly) Next comes the mod , you'll need 4 , 4mm washers and a glue heat gun or some quick setting epoxy resin . Place a 4mm washer over the washer cover locating peg and apply a blob of glue (glue gun in deffinately preferred) , the idea is to glue the 4mm washer to the black locating peg on the washer jet , the 4mm washer also stops you from glueing the washer jet cover to the washer jet itself . Before glueing the M4 washer to the little back tab , wrap an elastic band around the complete unit to get maxium black plastic tab through the washer ( see pic below ) Repeat this with the other 3 locating pegs . once the glue has set Make sure the washer jet cover is NOT glued to the washer jet , there needs to be the slight up/down movement on the cover to allow it to 'seat' correctly against the bumper . Almost ready to replace the washer jets but first it's a good idea to clean and polish the jet covers and the area around the holes in the bumper . Remember Left and Right , carefully put the jet through the hole in the bumper and into the washer body , it will self locate , as soon as it's located in the body it will start to 'click' on the ratchet mechanism , gently push it in until it is tight up against the bumper , about 8 or 9 clicks . The jets push back in quite easily but won't pull back out because of the ratchet , you can't push them in too far but once they are pushed right in they shouldn't be loose against the bumper and they should NEVER fall off again .
Het missende afdekplaatje is inmiddels weer gemonteerd...Ik had voorafgaand aan mijn bezoek een linkje gemaild aan Venray..De monteur riep me nog even en vroeg waar op het forum dit stukje stond, kon hij nog even lezen voor het monteren.
ook monteurs weten niet alles Top dat het weer voor elkaar is, ga die plaatje bij mij ook ff aanpassen
Heb dat bekeken bij mij en die spannen nog redelijk rond die pinnen, kvraag me af of ze eigenlijk gemakkelijk los kunnen, ik vind van niet Toch niet van de Fase I
Kun je niet vergelijken met elkaar, die van jou hebben een stuk kortere bevestigingslipjes dus die zitten er strakker op.
Aha, ik ben dus niet de enige waar bij deze afdekplaatjes redelijk slap vast zitten. dit was mij bij aankoop al opgevllen. Ik ga dit ook doen, ben al bang er een kwijt te raken.
