The headlamp shell lifts off the fender from the front.

Hey Guys,
Time to resurrect an old thread.
So I lost the passenger side chrome cover. I ordered the new piece, but it doesn't attach to the washer arm. It appears the socket on the washer arm has an upper and lower semi circle that the cover clips to. But the lower half of mine is missing.
So I am trying to decide between replacing the washer assembly, or just disconnect the washer assembly and glue the cover in place.
Is there a simple wire harness that is easily accessible to disconnect the washer pump ?
Thanks,
Dave B

To further resurrect an old thread, I lost one shiny powerwash covers (driver's side LHD) and ordered a replacement. I manually pulled out the nozzle and the end fits into the socket on the little cover but then when the nozzle moves back in the cover pops off. Everything looks as it should but I am wondering if the nozzle is moving back in too far.
Any way to adjust this?
Thanks,
Doug

Well it looks like I need to order a powerwash assembly since not only did the plastic at the front of the nozzle disintegrate but in my fiddling around the powerwash unit became disconnected from the headlight and is now just dangling there. I notice that the front plastic piece with the nozzle can disconnect from the powerwash assembly but I doubt whether that piece can be bought separately. I guess the real pain the the **** will be removing the headlight to replace the powerwash. What a rube goldberg piece of work this is.

The headlights mist up with moisture because the seal between the lens assembly and the light assembly is tightly compressed over time. I had to change my passenger side headlight and it of course came with a new seal, which being uncompressed for 16 years, sealed tightly and there's no moisture. Pain to change, but the problem is solved with new seals.
See my post about headlight replacement and you'll see the pain in the a...er..uh...joy of the project

Ok, looks like my driver side inboard nozzel is missing from the assembly. sprays like a garden hose, I found a cheap used passenger side assembly and have ordered it. I am assuming the jets must be the same, I plan to remove the nozzel from the unit and try to install it. Anybody know how they are attached to the assembly? Are they snap in, threaded,glued?

Convertible Owners: You know in the interest of the saftey of you and your loved ones I'm going to share a pretty bad memory about this very topic.
My nozzle is gone too, like many of you said this shoots onto the hood. BE CAREFUL though. It has the ability to shoot over the windshield into your or your passenger's face (ESPECIALLY at Low Speeds). This happened to me, it caused some pretty nasty visits to the eye doctor for someone.
Frankly I wouldn't have thought a drop or two of this stuff in your eye was a big deal, let alone damaging. Unfortunately that is really wrong: It can, I've seen it, and you never want to be in that position.
Respect the risk on this one - it can cause real trouble if it gets in someone's eyes. You know what? Keep a bottle of water handy for emergencies if you have a broken nozzle.
Really bad memory - hope it helps someone someday. Please take this one seriously.

the apparatus is stiill there and extends when commanded. One of the little nozzels that fit in the end of the washer assembly that converts the stream to jet the fluid toward the headlamp is missing. The glass cover has already been replaced. I ordered an assembly for the passenger side { used,Cheap} and will attempt to remove just that piece and use it. I will post results when I have completed the attempt. It is not a thing that is required, it's just that I would like every option to work as close to design as I can achieve. Thanks for the reply

i was lucky enough to find a used right hand assembly for 20 bucks on amazon, Unclipped the nozzel head and clipped it on the driver side unit, If you decide to do the operation folow the instructions to a tee, Slacken means loosen don't remove, I had a heck of a time getting the lower bolt bac in untill i realized that it had to be in place before you put the headlight assembly back in. Only took 20 minutes the second time, First time I beat my knuckles for way over an hour.
