Headlight Washer Retraction

[kenfoxy]

One of my headlight washers does not fully return after it has been used. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it.

I don't know what the problem is, but one of mine does the same thing...

I'll be watching this thread with interest...

me too, wondered if my car might have had a slight knock before I got it. But don't think so.

Mine has not had a knock and now the other side doesn't full retract.

Just don't use engine oil or anything though. Use silicone grease, that's best for plastics.

Mine went soon after purchasing - Lexus Hatfield replaced the motor arm straight away. They think it may have had a prang from the previous owner. Doesn't take much to knacker them I'm afraid - When I tried fixing it myself first I snapped the plastic front off

lol i love digging up an old thread......

I have one of my washer jets that is not fully retracting when used.... It stays out about 4mm or 5mm. If you touch it and push a little it drops down. So i'm assuming as said above it might just need a little lubrication but how do you go about this???

Do you pull the washer up out of the bumper to grease it then push it back down??? Just wanted to ask as i'm afraid to do that in case i break it etc....

Cheers

I think it's a bumper off job buddy, I may be wrong tho.
