Do you mean headlight washer? Call a bmw dealer out on the west cost (they are still open) and see what their service shop says about it.

Pacificbmw.com (I think)

the wiper cover snaps on and snaps off. no glue is required. Lost mine a month ago and painted it with the touch up paint and clear coat. looks mediocre.

I can snap it in, and when you snap it is easier to loose it, so I was thinking glue it, any glue recomendations?

Light bead of silicone will not hurt the plastic but will hold firmly. It is also flexible enough.

Are you missing a grommet or something with that piece?

Here are some pics:

This is how it looks now.

There is no way to snap the cover, only glue it

Fix it!!!!!!
I try first with silicon, did not work, too soft. Then I went to an ACE HArdware store and talk with a lady that had a problem like that and her hubby fix it with GORILA GLUE, so I try that and seems to be fine.....

Glad that you fixed yours. I too have a similar problem. Lost one of my grommet, still have the cover(cracked) attach though. Can I get the grommet from $tealer or .... Any suggestion?
