BMW can't make a door handle, window regulator, key cylinder or remote key that'll work for any length of time, can you really expect them to make a headlight washer system that'll be trouble free....lol!  Good thread!  |
Amen . . . those door handle carriers and the plastic clips on the window regulators are pretty sad.
When the washer pump for my headlight washers broke, I just removed it and thought I would buy a new one later. But that was a year ago and I don't really see the need to replace it now . . . I haven't missed it.
When you pull the pump out, there is grommet/filter that remains in the hole in the tank. I pulled that grommet/filter piece out and put a few pieces of plastic wrap (the kind in your kitchen drawer) over it and stuck it back in the hole. Maybe not the greatest solution, but it worked.
